I've been trying to install the Microsoft anti-virus but Microsoft Security Essentials does not work and I can't find Defender to install.
From what I know you CAN NOT use Microsoft Security Essentials with Windows 8/Server 2012. I've done some searching for Windows Defender Download but I can't fine a link anywhere. How can I get this installed?
There's a workaround here

Looks like MS's documentation is incorrect according to @PeterHahndorf - so hopefully since he is familiar with the system, he can help you out. – nerdwaller – 2013-08-12T20:09:41.897
Windows Defender is built into Windows 8 you can either enable it or disable it. There is nothing to download, its the exact same engine as MSE, MSE won't be on other platforms. – Ramhound – 2014-05-30T16:41:11.310
