I understand Vista comes with Windows Defender... is it still advisable to
install: Spybot S&D, Spywareblaster & run Ad-Aware?
 
I would never trust just one line of defense.

Spybot Search and Destroy and Ad-Aware both work under Vista and I have them
both installed for on-demand scanning.

Add me to the others. I use both Spybot S&D and Ad-Aware. I haven't tried
SpywareBlaster on Vista yet. With non viral malware, though Vista makes it
harder for it to get a toe hold, still no single program catches everything.
 
Spyware Blaster works just fine Rock!

Agreed. The only resource it uses is when you update the signatures. After
that it sits there dumb and blind.

The only thing I have verified in Vista is that SpywareBlaster does, in
fact, add the nasty sites to the restricted zone in IE7. All seems good.
