| | Nope not at all !They have completely different purposes/goals: While chkdsk tests your harddrives/file systems for corrupted files, bad blocks etc. Defender scans said harddrives for unsavory programs (virii, Trojans etc.) -DG |

| | Fluidmotion what anti virus do you use? Windows Defender is very old and outdated. Many use MSE which will turn off Windows Defender when installed. Microsoft Security Essentials - Free Antivirus for Windows As mentioned by others they are not the same. |

| | Very good choices. Now go to Start and type in Defender and check and make sure it is off. Just verifying. Another program I use is Super Anti Spyware free version. It is a tracking cooking finder and eater. Now just to round things off, make sure all things are update including Windows 7 and reboot. Happy computing. |
