With Windows Vista and Internet Explorer 7, you are definitely more secure than you were using older versions of the OS and Web browser. The fact is that you now get these applications with the base OS instead of having to pay for or download a third-party vendor s utility. Vista does not come with antivirus software, so you will need to acquire that separately. What Vista does have is a built-in spyware tool that helps prevent some malware exploits from taking place. Vista also has a built-in host-based firewall. Make sure that you add antivirus software for full protection.
