What antivirus are you using?

Windows 8 comes with Windows Defender, that's what Security Essentials has been rebranded to.

So it went from Windows Defender to MSE back to Windows Defender?

MS needs to make up their mind.

MSE is included in Windows 8. It goes under the name Windows Defender (rebranding their crappy anti-spyware app from back in the Vista days, it still uses the same icon, too!).

Just search for it from the Start Screen and you'll see it:

It took all night but figured it out, it wasn't easy.
My Windows Defender was off because of the other anti-virus programs I had.

First had to delete MacAfee off my computer, might as well the trial was over. Then AVG wouldn't let me uninstall..
That took forever, but finally have WDefender actually running now.

Thanks all.

Sorry for not replying sooner...
It's built in as Windows Defender.
