It's not a matter of if they coexist ok together or not, I don't want
Defender enabled if the new Avira makes it redundant. Defender has never

Well if you have Malwarebytes' anti malware, yes, it is redundant.

It still surpasses Windows Defender.
That is if you practice Safe Hex and run an periodic, and signature updated, "On Demnand"
scan.

Yep, I do. I have noscript installed into Firefox too so that helps a
lot because I have read that web site drive by infections are becoming
more and more common.
