i run vista ok,my question is this
Do i really need spybot search and destroy running on vista,:confused:
What do you think due to all vista's security programs
 
Even though Windows Vista is supposedly more secure than Windows XP it's not immune to viruses and spyware, hence the need to be protected against both.

How's that? :p
 
vista comes with ms windows defender, and the definition updates are sent via windows update.

so, no, you probably dont need spybot etc. but i am sure you'll sleep better if you just keep it on hey?
 
maybe you are not him?
one of those "how many condoms is considered enough" type of questions. I know dissing microsoft is the popular choice, but perhaps removing blinkers isnt a bad idea either.

food for thought.

I know I'm not him, only giving my advice of what I'd do ;) But I get your point :)

well there you go dablackmark8 ;)
spoken from the meister himself :p

Been a while since I've seen the word "meister"... :D

*fires up Rammstein - Der Meister* :p
 
Does Spybot even run permanently? Last time I used it you just ran a scan whenever you wanted too.

Windows defender is a "real" anti-spyware solution, and it is pretty good.

spybot will present you with a dialog as soon as it detects something fishy. so yes it does run all the time.

AVG Anti-Spyware is also quite good :)

indeed.
