Okay, well he said he keeps MalwareBytes deactivated until he runs a scan. I guess the other two programs (which I dont' know about) are run when he scans for viruses and Defender/MSE just runs if you leave it to, as he said, do its own thing. It'll run scans on as regular or seldom a basis as you want, or you can do a deeper scan whenever you like. MWB would probably only come into play (as it does with me) when something doesn't seem right and you want to check for intruders on your system, like if everything froze or got really really slow all of a sudden.

Edit: Also, I would imagine he, like me, would scan all physical and attached drives, ie the ones built into the PC and any external or USB drives as well.
