Users who put their faith in Vista's new security features and Microsoft's Windows Defender antispyware product may find themselves under attack from spyware all the same, according to the results of a study by Webroot, a leading antispyware vendor and Microsoft competitor.

the study is by a competitor of windows defender.
nevertheless its always best to depend on atleast 2 anti-spys.
spydoc, spyswpr, adaware, windows defender, avg/ewido, spybot, a-squared are amongst the better known.
thanx 4 d indo.
