Win 7 & Windows Defender

Until recently, I was running both. After a clean install of Win 7 x64, I noticed Windows defender is disabled by group policy. I see the other threads on this. I am not asking the merits of running both, but what disabled Windows defender, was it the latest version of Avast install?

Thanks

Thanks for pointing me to that thread. I didn’t see that in my search.
