Hello and Welcome to the Webroot Community!
Windows Defender disables itself when it detects WSA and other AV's see here: https://community.webroot.com/t5/Webroot-SecureAnywhere-Complete/What-s-the-difference-between-the-new-Windows-Defender-and/ta-p/13852 and here is a work around if you want to run WD with WSA: https://community.webroot.com/t5/Webroot-SecureAnywhere-Antivirus/How-to-Run-WSA-alongside-Windows-Defender-on-Windows-8-Windows-8/ta-p/23058
Look at what WSA offers to keep up with the influx of malware: http://www.brightcloud.com/platform/webroot-intelligence-network.php

Thank you Daniel... I took a look... sounds like they are compatible enough. I am not comfortable making registry changes :)
+56No worries as I don't use Windows Defender at all.
