If you're going to run Defender, then davehc's advise above applies. So if you're going to run Norton 360 on Windows 8, forget about Windows Defender. Not to mention that protection would suffer, neither would properly work. Windows Defender that ships with 8 is a total AV/AM app, if it weren't to shut off when another first line of defense installed, there would be a serious clash going on, plus resource usage would run through the ceiling. On those, Defender may play well with Norton 360. From Windows 7 down through XP, Windows Defender is simply a spyware app, a second line of defense. Windows Defender on Windows 8 is an entirely different product than what ships with Windows 7 (& possibly Vista), & is an optional download for XP. Windows Defender will shut down is another app such as Norton is installed. But Norton 360 is a first line defense, so is Windows Defender on Windows 8. One other thing, MalwareBytes & SuperAntiSpyware plays well with Windows Defender, as they're second line defenses.
