Hello fluidmotion
Simple answer is no they are totally different. Have a look at the links below - Disk Check Windows Defender - Turn On or Off Windows Defender Offline Danny |

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 Windows Defender is very old and outdated.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. |

Check Disk fixes your Hard Drive and Windows Defender protects your system for viruses.

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. |

MSE and MalwareBytes Anti Malware work well together. I would keep both.
