    Both Macafee anti-virus & Windwos Deneder came installed with my Dell XPS 9100 Windows 7 O/S. Should both be turned ON....or should Defender be turned off?

    Much thanks.......so many times such as more than 1 firewall, spyware....anti-virus's run on same computer tends to cause conflicts.

    Only if they are running at the same time.

    NOT in the case of Windows Defender. It plays well with others.
