windows defender

[davidoc]

Hi guys...I have recently got myself windows vista home premium and within that is windows defender which as you know is supposed to stop malware...it is also a malware scanner...now what I would like to know is: Do you think it is good enough or do you reccomend I still use my a-squared scanner also.

Thanks......Dave

Hi david, I too have Vista, home premium, and I have been running defender alongside Norton 360, and its been fairly good, although it does take a long time for a full scan, even so it has picked up a couple of things Norton didn't. As a malware, spy ware scanner I find it OK, also give the free version of AVG anti-spyware a go, Ive also got that, you can tell I'm paranoid
