Hello Billb;

One Care version 1.5 includes Windows Defender as a subset, and will
disable any separate installation of Defender once it is installed.
Conversely, it will enable Windows Defender if WLOC is removed from your
system.

I'm not clear on the answer to this. I believe that it is yes, and that the
executables for the antispyware included in OneCare are in separate folders,
but I'm not certain enough to have tried it myself.

If you do remove Windows Defender--let us know whether that seems to impact
OneCare in any way.
