Do I need to consider adding some other security applications as well?

Can I get by with only Windows Defender as security software on my new home PC with Vista ?aurora

windows defender works only as antispyware, and the truth is no matter which antispyware you use you always will need more than one, is not the same with antivirus where you can run only one at a time, there are some free stuff that will do the work for you but you will need more than one tool. This is the list of softwares that i have being using for over 2 years then when i change to vista they still works great.

1-. AVG free edition (antivirus only), get it free at http://www.grisoft.com/doc/download-free...

2-. Ad.Aware 2007 (antispyware)

3-. Spybot search and destroy (antispyware)

4-. ccleaner (increase computer performance deleting unused entries and registries.

5.- Zone alarm (firewall) Equip your system to deal with Web-based security threats including hackers, viruses, and worms.

What i recommend is to use the spybot S D only once per week. Then use AVG and Ad-aware as default for daily use. Use ccleaner two times per week to keep your PC running smoothly.
