You will get a variety of opinions about Defender. I use it with realtime protection turned on. It has not created any problems at this stage & I'm quite happy with it.
I'm fairly sure that I read it is a part of Vista & it can't be uninstalled.[Someone will correct me if I am wrong.]
You can disable it if you wish by going to Defender Tools > Options > & at the bottom of the page untick "Use Win Defender" & "Allow everyone to use Win Defender" > Save.

Maybe. Its better than nothing. I installed Norton 360 and Windows Defender + Windows Firewall were both automatically disabled. Then I removed Defender from starting up.
