Smile What Spyware To Use...
I run Vista and at present I run the following: AVG AntiVirus, Windows Defender, and Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware. my question is, do I need to run anything else for Spyware (like Super Anti-Spyware) and if so which should I run? Any response is greatly appreciated. God bless & many thanks. Jenny

You don't need any other anti spyware since you already have two - Windows Defender and Malwarebytes. As with most things in life, too much of a good thing is a bad thing. Running more than 1 antivirus or antispyware program will only hinder the other one and cause your system to run slower than it should. That being said, there is nothing wrong at all with running a scan from more than one antispyware application seperately. Just don't run them both at the same time. On my PC at home I run AVG and Windows Defender. Also make sure you have Windows Firewall turned on, especially if your PC is connected directly to a cable or DSL modem.
