McAfee is just like Norton (if you ask me)
Windows Defender is just an anti-spyware, and it works really well. It does scheduled cleaning.
I use:
-Windows Defender
-AVG Free Edition (antivirus)
-Spybot Search and Destroy (antispyware)
-Ad Aware (by Lavasoft, also anti-spyware)
-Windows Firewall, coupled with my router's firewall.
Everything above that I use is free. I never have virus/spyware/malware problems.

I've noticed a lot of students where I work have both Spybot and Ad Aware. What's the point of having both installed??

Because Ad-aware shoots towards adware, while spybot shoots towards spyware. Alone their ok, together they rock. Say you just dust out your computer with canned air, thats like using spybot. Use a vaccumm to suck up the remaining dust..thats like adding ad-aware

Ugh, I NEVER use canned air!!
Makes sense for the rest of it though. I just figured that either one got rid of it all.
