I've never really needed anti-virus
Once upon a time I was on my campus lan and picked up a trojan or virus almost daily
since i got off that kind of network i haven't found a single problem...I don't use a firewall, don't use anti-virus, and i download several gigs a week off p2p....i seriously don't know where everyone is getting these viruses from

The Security Is Very Long Lasting In Vista
Although You Need All this Stuff
Cause Viruses Are Updated Day By Day
And All this Stuff Helps You To Better Defined Virus Definations All The Day
So
My Answer IS Yes
It Would Better If You Go For This Stuff

Here's my two cents worth. Anything BUT norton. ZoneAlarm, or even some of the freebies.And a news flash.... Hackers are hard at work on Vista as I type this, and windows defender is not up to the challenge, as usual.

I trust my own security way more than someone else's. I can verify for myself that my own is working.
I can't honestly say I'd trust Microsoft where security is concerned... ;)
If I parked my car in a car park with a security guard, would I leave the doors unlocked and the key in the ignition? No. The same goes for PC security, so far as I am concerned.

I would say yes, but only if you can get Norton to run under Vista.

deffinately YES. Vista is windows pinnacle of security, however, Its still new. plenty of bugs to work out with it. as we speak, there are people out there trying to exploit Vista's flaws. ALWAYS use firewall and anit-virus software.

actually, if vista continues to be in beta, i does no longer be in keeping with it....enable them to paintings out the matters, first. additionally, not one of the Antivirus, firewall, spyware issues at present are helping it completely so which you have compatibility issues.....yet once you insist, try Norton information superhighway protection.

You never "needed" such application in the first place - they are only really useful to have.
As yes it is still strongly advised.
