Is Windows Defender any good? Can it (should it) be run along with another programme such as Spybot Tea Timer?

if you are an experienced and cautious user defender is more than adequate for you without the aid of spybot or any other spyware program. Personally I use defender and Avast (avast.com) on my machines at work and at home, and have yet to be compromised. Definately stearing clear of internet explorer 6 helps alot also, use internet explorer 7 rc1 or firefox along with defender to keep your system free of malware.

Well if oyu have a genuine copy of MS WIn XP then defender is the best solution for Malicious softwares and spywares. Then you don't need another spyware removal program.

Yes to both questions. I use WDB2 along with Spybot and SpywareBlaster. All three provide full time active protection.

Most definately! I had problems with my computer after being attacked by spyware and Defender found the offending programs and safely deleted them. I also run it with Norton and have no problems.
