That depends on your general settings. There is the option to have Defender
always apply actions after a scan, but I prefer not to use that. I want it to
notifiy me and let me decide. Look under Tools>General Settings.
Windows Defender routinely uninstalls Microsoft Antispyware as part of the
installation process. It leaves quite a bit behind--perhaps with the
purpose of, for example. allowing retrieval from quarantine.
