"Depending on which operating system your computer is running, you can use
either Windows  Defender or Microsoft Security Essentials to get rid of
malicious software and viruses. 

 

If your computer is running Windows 8, you can use the built-in  

Windows Defender 

 to help you get rid of viruses, spyware, or other malware. If your computer
is running Windows 7, Windows Vista, or 

Windows XP 

, Windows Defender only removes spyware. To get rid of viruses and other
malware, including spyware, on Windows 7, Windows Vista, and Windows XP, you
can download 

Microsoft Security Essentials 

 for free. 

 

In Windows 8, Windows Defender replaces Microsoft Security Essentials 

 

You can't use  

Microsoft Security Essentials 

 with Windows 8 or Windows RT, but you don't need  to because Windows
Defender already provides built-in protection."
