Which is best antivirus for windows 8.1? Microsoft Security essentials or Windows Defender?

Here in windows 8 and 8.1 you do not have microsoft security essentials.It is replaced with windows defender with more features and it is already comes with your OS. so keep using Windows Defender with latest definition updates and it will help to protect your PC from malwares,viruses and everything.
(I'm a security essential user in my MS Vista PC and I recommend MSE for XP,Vista and 7 and Defender for Win 8,8.1 and 10 )

I'm a walking shameless plug for Vipre Security (I've had good experiences), although Kaspersky currently has the highest safety rating of any AV on the market today.
