With the new Vista do you need anti-virus software?

Yes, you definately need antivirus, you can use a program such as Nod32 or AVG and they both work great. I also recommend having an Antispyware solution, that may help you out. Vista is more secure, but in time there will be vulnerabilities that Antivirus software should help to minimize.

Absolutely!

If you are a BT customer then the AV and security software you get as part of your package is already Vista compatible.

Go to http://bt.software.yahoo.com/ysftc/p/bt/... and select it from there.

If not, then check with your ISP, or favorite security vendor.

With the new Vista do you need anti-virus software?anti virus software

I have used AVG Anti Virus, Zone Alarm Firewall, Spy-bot Search and Destroy and Ad Aware both spyware killers for years. They are all free for personal use and I have had no trouble with Viruses Trojans etc. AVG does not slow the system down as much as some other products and Zone Alarm allows a lot of personal configuration unlike the Windows Firewall. They can all be downloaded from the following link. http://www.computeractive.co.uk/ On the home page select downloads and then the appropriate category.I also use Windows Defender from the Microsoft site. It is safe to use two anti-spy products but never use more than one A/V as it can cause conflicts. You should run A/V and anti spy weekly. Hope this helps.
yes
Vista has it's own anti-spyware, but it is very new; you canot rely on it. However, I do not think it comes with anti-vitus.
