I've used Norton and Avast at home and McAfee at work and I've not had a
problem with any of them.

Sorry about taggin along on this dated thread. I have the same questions. I
am a novice with a new computer and vista premium.

I want to know, if I never had any other operating sysstem or security
protection software on this computer - is windows defender and firewall along
with my ICP provider security sufficent protection. Should one consider
paying for another full packaged security software and install on their PC?

Currently, a trial version of Mcafee is installed on my computer. I have
downloaded a free version of AVG antivirus. I have also, checked into Panda
products?

Can someone give me some direction?

Windows Defender is not an anti virus ..its anti malware and anti spyware.
You do need an Anti Virus with Vista...You Have Mcafee.....set it up to run
every nite and update it regularly.....when the free trial expires switch to
the free version of AVG.

And if you ever want to buy one, do not forget BitDefender.
I find it exceptionnally good.
