[Guest]

Hello,
Have the following installed and updated.

avg av free
spybot
spywareblaster
ad-aware se
sygate firewall
hosts file

Download but did not install microsoft's defender beta2.
Will this program take the place of the above
listed programs with the exception of the firewall and av.

Looking for something to consolidate the many into the one.

Windows Defender is not and AntiVirus, Firewall or Popup blocker, its for
AntiSpyware, Malware. Still use a dedicated utility for the ones mentioned.
As for others:
