    Hello,

     

     

    I want to know the difference between the detection rate of live one care and windows defender. since defender is a subset of onecare, which threats are not detected by defender?

    Defender is primarily for spyware detection. It also monitors system settings that may be targeted by spyware. OneCare also detects and removes viruses and Trojans.
