You Better believe it Paul !!
AVG is Excellent ...but Windows Defender comes straight from the OS Matrix and runs quietly in the background
untill you need it . P.S. Don't forget to Use "C-Cleaner" with AVG, the Three programs together keep your PC virtually Virus Free

Computer kept crashing "driver not responding error" took me awile to figure out since HP,Nvidia,Netscape,etc.. didn't know what to do and there solutions made it worse. Regaurdless your reply is appreciated. I have "CC Cleaner is that what you meant?

You might want to fix this for Vista - either don't detect it or advise to run Windows Update maybe?

Before trying Microsoft Security Essentials I had it running in all of my windows configurations - can't say it ever caught anything. It pretty much stayed out of the way, only to receive any attention when some program modified an essential setting or placed itself in the bash of "early starters" wich was nice to know if you didn't expect it.
