    WHAT IS MICROSOFT DEFENDER ?


    I have been receiving emails from MS inviting me to download and install "Microsoft Defender". I am using Win 10 and have always used "Windows Security".Is there a difference between these two features, and if so, what is the advantage of MS Defender over Win Security? Does one replace the other are do they perform along side each other? Does MS Defender perform the same function as an app such as "Malwarebytes", and could it replace Malwarebytes effectively on my PC? Thank you in advance for your answers. JWarner
