I was under the impression that Windows Defender was taking the place of
Microsoft Security Essentials, and that the basic program hadn't changed,
only the name, but the protection was essentially the same.
Is that not true anymore?

No, you can't run two anti-virus programs together. They will potentially
conflict.
You can run another malware program for anti-spyware but not another
anti-virus program unless you disable the other anti-virus program.
If you want a decent malware program, get malwareBytes from malbytes.org

Hi Dan,
MSE only works up to Windows 7, and Windows 8 uses Windows Defender.
Not using Windows 8 right now, but don't see any reason why other security
software can't be used.
Others actively using Win8 will be able to advise you better than me.
HTH,
Rick Justice
