Problem Description

I want to know if I can run Microsoft Windows Defender in the following Trend Micro Internet Security products:

Trend Micro Internet Security 2008

Trend Micro Internet Security Pro 2008

Trend Micro Internet Security 2009

Trend Micro Internet Security Pro 2009

Trend Micro Internet Security for Dell 16.6

Solution

No, you cannot use Microsoft Windows Defender with these Trend Micro Internet Security programs as they all have anti-spyware functions. Running them at the same time may cause conflicts and serious problems in your computer.

 

When you install Trend Micro Internet Security 2009, Microsoft Windows Defender will be automatically disabled. When you install Trend Micro Internet Security 2008, a popup message will show up informing you to uninstall it.

 

Note: Windows Defender is automatically activated if you uninstall Trend Micro Internet Security.
