MSE scans

I'm getting the feeling that MSE is completing full c: drive scans before it's actually done. Progress bar reaches about 2/3 of the way then it finishes, reporting no harmful items. It takes about an hour to scan 215GB used space of my 1TB HDD, does this sound about right? I cant find anyway of tracking what has been scanned, other than the item location text that whizzes by during actual scans.

I also use malwarebytes, with protection off and run a manual full scan once a week, always returns a clean bill of health.

I always run ccleaner before any scans, then run MSE, then after its done run MB so they don't conflict.

Is MsMpEng.exe part of Defender or MSE? This is now running in the background since turning on my pc today. I have Windows Defender turned off so I assume its a malware/spyware scanner belonging to MSE but doesnt appear in the interface anywhere.
