It's up to you which security program you choose but Trend Micro is as good as any other, especially while it's free. (If you don't like the PC-cillin, you can always revert to your previous favorites.) The "PC-cillin Internet Security" program includes antivirus, antispyware, a firewall, as a few other items.. As such, if you decide to use it, be sure to have only ONE of the above items running in realtime protection mode. (I always install only ONE antivirus and ONE firewall on a machine because of the conflicts that I've experienced when doing otherwise.) You can still install antispyware programs AS LONG AS they are not running in the background.. For example, installing "AVG Antispyware" and "Ad-Aware" as standalone scanners is a good idea when you want to seek a "second opinion" on a possible infection.
Hope this helps.

Hi! I just got a new computer with windows vista home premium and also have the pc-cillin internet security, which was recommended as it works with vista...my question, is about other compatible applications, if any, I would need to help protect against viruses, spyware etc...
I have not used an all-in-one security for a while, so not sure if I should also use spybot s&d, or cwshredder or avg-anti-spyware...
I previously used all free ones --avg anti-virus, avg anti-spyware, ad-aware, spysweeper, and ZoneAlarm for firewall...
I did some searching in the CNet forums, but maybe I'm missing them, so if this has been discussed, please send me that link and I can search there.
I just don't think that one product is going to "catch" everything (that was my assumption in the past and had some big problems). I also know that too many of the wrong things can interfere and cause problems as well.
So, any suggestions would be very much appreciated!
