Default Is it bad to have both windows defender AND AVG?

And also does windows defender protect me from spyware, or does AVG does? And does AVG actually delete viruses in my system?

No, they complement each other.

Yes. AVG deletes viruses in your system as well as the Windows Defender. Don't worry, you can have the two.

nope, has as many antivirus programs on your pc as your system will allow and you feel needed, lol but i reccommend that you stay with what you have

just dont have to firewalls, that will cause chaos.

AVG 8.0 free does remove Viruses and Spyware.

You may not want to use both, It can slow down your PC.
(I never tested out windows defender so I don't know how good it is)
