What do you use now?

Generally the answer is yes, unless you are already running a new
version of the program.

Avast and AVG are very good free ones.

Yes, run anti-virus software compatible with Windows Vista. While Vista
makes it more difficult for malware writers to infect your computer, it is
still a good idea to have some sort of virus scanner. The built-in Windows
Defender is not a virus scanner per se.

virus protection based on what I get from people like you in thuis community.

Carlito;

There are a number of free avg's available that are compatible with Vista,
my personal avg is Panda platinum, 1 year 2 licenses for $29, I guess it is
all in the eye of the beholder.

You might look at ESET NOD32 -- it isn't free, but you can get a 30 day
full feature trial for free:

McAfee and Norton would have a fit if Defender was a virus scanner
