I have not used both but I have heard bad things about Microsoft Defender.
-
I prefer AVG
-
AVG free isn't that great, but it's better than Microsoft Defender. If you have a subscription to AVG then it's pretty good. I use NOD32, but you have to pay for it.

You're comparing apples and oranges here. Bear in mind that Defender is not an anti virus application nor is AVG (at least the free edition) an anti spyware package. I wouldn't recommend using AVG free edition without something like Spybot and Adaware for spyware and adware and I wouldn't advise using Window Defender at all.

I use AVG 8.0, SpyBot 6.1, Malwarebytes and Superantispyware and a program called Glary Utilities for registry repair. I have been using this line of defense for about 3 yrs now without any problems and its the same ones I place on my customers, no matter if they have XP or Vista. If you would like step by step instructions for downloads and "How to sheets " for managing the software just let me know.
