Kaspersky and Windows Defender AKA Microsoft Security Essentials
As Kaspersky comes with new computers, it neutralizes or has any kind of problem with Windows Defender?
As we know 2 Antivirus somehow (disabled or not properly uninstalled) in a computer is a BIG no-no, how you handle this?
Hello
It is not recommended to use two Antivirus at the same time. You can use Kaspersky or Microsoft Security Essential. Windows Defender is the defense against software spyware and other unwanted software. If Anti Virus is active and working then he will take over from Windows Defender. The things most important do not use two antivirus at the same time.

My computer, one almost four years, Dell Inspiron 1454 with Windows XP Pro, continues to freeze when left to sit for a few minutes. Also, I discovered that when I run the Microsoft Security Essentials quick or full scan analyzing stops on the file HP Digital Imaging mentioned above several times. I was wondering if this means something on the reason why the computer freezes up. Also, Windows Live Mail continually lets me know that it is "not responding." Yet once, I guess it's because of the freezing problem not Windows Live Mail is the cause. I do not know. I made some different system using different dates restorations and who has not solved anything so far. I use the computer during a run without problem, but if I have a cup of coffee, for example, I have to restart when I return. Sometimes, the slider moves, sometimes not, but no matter the computer is unresponsive after that I took a break or just out of the blue when I try to open an e-mail or another task. I guess it's time for a Mac, but I thought I'd see if anyone has some ideas on how to solve this problem. Thank you!
Hello, Olivia,.
This problem is probably due to an outdated HP Digital Imaging monitor. Even if you decided to switch to a Mac, the question may still popup because you have installed hpqthb08.exe.
Fortunately, there is an update that you can apply.
SP26427. EXE
http://h10025.www1.HP.com/ewfrf/wc/softwareDownloadIndex?softwareitem=PV-26169-1&LC=en
Or you can simply disable HP Digital Imaging Monitor.
