Hey everybody
I have vista and Windows Defender
On my last computer i had a program called Adware which seemed to find loads of spyware

But windows defender has never found one and just says the computer is working fine

Anyone have this?

It may not find it because it has kept it off. I use Windows Defender along with my anti virus and have never found anything except harmless cookies. Many things have been blocked. I used to scan with other programs too be sure but nothing ever found so my confidence has grown.
But a lot might have to do with safe practices too. I don't tempt fate. The main thing with any security is too keep it updated.

At least Defender runs in the background - SpyBot and Adware you have to run to find anything. I use both Defender and Spybot along with the anti-rootkit program from AVG and Rogue remover - nothing is ever found, which is what I want. All this is running behind a firewall and on a router.

I've cleaned viruses off friends' and families' computers too many times because they're too cheap to buy a little protection - or even try to use the free ones - so I may go a little overboard, but to date, have had no problems at all.

narrr..... not found any for me
