| | Hello Big123, Yes, that is correct. When you install MSE, it only turns off Windows Defender and sets MSE to be the default program instead. |

| Vista and Windows7, sometimes Ubuntu and Fedora | The MSE and Defender processes are the same (MsMpEng.exe - if I remember right). When you uninstall MSE, it defaults to Defender. Nothing to worry about. Hmm, Shawn beat me to it - LOL. |
