Hey all! I always used Win 2002 etc, as OS. But now that i have vista, i just wonder if i need a spybot program as Spybot -Search & Destroy, or dont i have to worry about spyware with vista.

Thanks.

    Just get Spybot if that is what you prefer to use. I just have AVG, does the job for me. 1we8.gif

    I use SpywareBlaster. It prevents spyware from ever hitting your computer so that's pretty sweet.
