Do you need antivirus product if running Vista?

I have Vista Home Premium O/S. Do I need to install Norton antivirus or similar product to safeguard my PC?



Do you need antivirus product if running Vista?vista



yep



Do you need antivirus product if running Vista?antispyware



Absolutely!
Yes you do.
Yes, you are going to need anti-virus software, even for vista. I'm almost certain that you can use AVG on vista and thats free.

you're probably going to need some anti spyware software also. Microsoft has a pretty good one called Windows Defender. It's also free.

Now the firewall is just fine on Vista, unlike XP's crappy firewall, so you should be alright with that.
I would install an antivirus program onto a vista computer.But i would not install any of Norton's programs.there is lot free antivirus program out there.I have heard that Norton's will block some programs that you already use.So i would do some asking around before i buy and install a antivirus program.



avg is one of the good ones.And from what i read that is vista ready.



Also i think that Norton's has become bloated and wants to block everything.I know that for a fact also.So do your homework before you go and buy!
All the latest antivirus work on vista
