Hello everyone, I'm seriously considering giving windows defender a try. I now have AVG free set to scan my computer at 5 AM, and I would probably set windows defender to scan at 2 AM. What I'm wondering is if for some reason I don't leave my computer on all night and I turn it on in the morning will AVG free and windows defender play nice together and both programs do there individual scans, or will I have a big problem? Also will windows defender scan my external hard drive? Sorry for so many questions, but your help with this is very much appreciated!
