Mario,
Up through Windows 7 Windows Defender was basically an
anti-malware, anti-spyware, anti-PUP program and Microsoft Security
Essentials, which you had to intentionally install, was Microsoft's
antivirus program. Windows Defender can safely run on any Windows
machine prior to Windows 8 that has another third-party antivirus
program running. It hurts nothing to let Windows Defender run with
antivirus software running on a Windows 7 machine.
Once you get to Windows 8 and beyond, the old Microsoft
Security Essentials antivirus function was rolled into the existing
prior functions of Windows Defender and the full-function antivirus
version of Windows Defender was born. You must absolutely not run
Windows Defender in a Win8 or later environment if you choose to use a
third-party antivirus. In fact, most third-party antivirus programs
check to see if Windows Defender is active on Win8 or Win10 machines
when they're being installed and intentionally disable it. One should
never, ever, ever, have more than one antivirus program running on a
machine at the same time.
