Windows Defender is intended to replace MS AntiSpyware that will expire soon. It may continue to work on your pc but MS will no longer update the definitions.

WD runs as a Service so you won't see a tray icon like with MS AS. Here's a guide to WD. They also have a FAQ page.

You can enable the system tray icon for Windows Defender if you want to. It's in Options.
