    Windows Defender, formerly known as Microsoft AntiSpyware, is a software product from Microsoft to prevent, remove, and quarantine spyware in Microsoft Windows. It is included and enabled by default in Windows Vista and Windows 7

    MSE 4 is really good. It integrateds with Internet Explroer 9, so you have a really secure experience. I did testing with those two programs together and they didn't let a single virus pass.
