tho you could try to put it better

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?

Try the free version of Super Antispyware, seems to be quite good.

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?

I'd use Spybot Search & Destroy instead of Windows Defender if I were him

I'm running both on my two machines that are running Windows Vista. Haven't had any problems

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.

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.

I think it has an option for real-time scanning, can't remember

I just run Windows Defender and AVG. I haven't had any problems. But it wouldn't hurt to install Spybot as well.

 

[The_Techie]

AVG Anti-Spyware is also quite 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.
