MS Antispyware Leftovers

[Guest]

Hi All,

Is MS Antispyware and Windows Defender two separate applications so that the
newer version does not depend on any files from the older version. I have a
folder and several subfolders for MS Antispyware still listed in my program
files folder after upgrading to Windows Defender. Can it and all references
to it be deleted? Defender seems to be working fine and I didn't want to mess
up anything by deleting something it depends on in MS Antispyware. TIA

If you are certain that there's nothing in quarantine under the old app that
you might want back, I believe you can safely delete that stuff. I have.
