If I have Defender, do I need Spybot?

Thanks

Hi mopar. What other security programs do you have installed? If you just have Windows Defender installed then yes I would recommend that you also have Spybot Search and Destroy installed as well.

I really don't want to disappoint anyone, but unfortunately Spybot is rather tool of the past.
Kudos to its makers for being one of the first antispyware tool on the market, but it has its glorious days behind it.

Currently, the two best free tools on the market:
- SUPERAntiSpyware Free Edition: http://www.superantispyware.com/download.html
- Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware (trial version is fully functionable): http://www.malwarebytes.org/mbam.php
