Windows Defender/Windows Live One Care

[camaz]

I formerly used Windows Defender, but it was apparently deleted when I
installed Windows Live One Care. I still have the MsMpEng.exe process,
however, with all it's grabby ways, which Task Manager shows as running
when I notice drastic slowdowns on my machine. Is this process an essential
part of Live One Care ? Would appreciate any help on this one.

The current version of OneCare includes Defender. I very much doubt that
Defender (or MsMpEng.exe, specifically) has anything to do with the
"slowdowns".

There are OneCare-specific newsgroups and web-forums where you can seek
support and ask questions.
