| I start with an apology since I have already asked a similar question.
My laptop runs Windows XP. I have Panda Titanium 2006 which has antispyware.
I also have Windows Defender which (I assume) does the same job. Can I just
switch off Windows Defender? I check my laptop on a weekly basis for spyware
with Adadware.

Try Trend Micro PC-Cillin Internet Security 2007:

It's the best suite, in my opinion.
