[gui-talk] is windows defender still supported?

[Mike Freeman]

The only package I have on my machine now is Microsoft Security Essentials. 
Best way to tackle the diminishing space issue is to reload with a clean 
system, put on the programs you wish, then do a full system backup so you 
can restore the system every year or so.
