Which Security Software
Hi,

I have been using the following security software for about 4 or 5 years

AdAware
Spybot S&D
Spywareblaster
AVG AV
Zone Alarm Firewall

Have got a new PC with Vista arriving soon and my question is will all of the above work OK with Vista and is there anything else I should use as standard or anything better than above.

I have seen Avast recommended as AV and Comodo as firewall ?

Windows defender has a good firewall, I use it with my Vista. I have had no problems using Norton or spydoctor with my Vista. I personally suggest Norton as your main security program. Never any conflicts.

I wouldn't use AVG as your antivirus program. I'd use Avast! or one of the better programs like NOD32 or Kaspersky.
