Is Defender now full-featured AV as in Win8?
I understand MSE was renamed Defender and built into Win8 as a full-featured AV (actually MSE).
But is the Defender which runs in the background on Win7 the same, using the same definitions, or not?
The reason I'm asking is I'm upgrading a 1gb Core2 Duo for a friend who doesn't want to buy any more RAM and I think it can be made fast by defaulting only to Defender since MSE is spiking the RAM. I would give him the necessary warnings and have several scanners on his desktop, but am still not sure.
