Should I be running Windows Defender when I have Webroot for security?

If I am running my Webroot all the time should I also have Windows Defender on?  Would that cause a problem?
 
Thanks

Hello terrijean123,
 
Welcome to the Webroot Community,
 
Would you tell me what opearating system you are running?
 
WSA will co-exist very nicely with Windows Defender (that is the way that WSA has been designed from the outset).
 
IMO You don't need WD as WSA is much, much more than WD can ever be! http://www.brightcloud.com/platform/webroot-intelligence-network.php
 


 


  
If you feel comfortable doing registry changes? But I don't see the need to as WSA is much better than Windows Defender can ever be!
 
If you want to run Windows Defender along with WR then please have a look at this KB Article
 
 
Hope this helps?
