Do I need an anti-virus prog. If I have Spybot S&D? |

I can't seem to find an answer on the home site.

Spyware and viruses are not quite the same thing. Antivirus and anti-spyware software should both be part of your system, along with a firewall. I would say the antivirus software is more important than the anti-spyware.
A router makes an excellent firewall, by the way.

Get AVG Anti-Virus, it's free. And extremely effective. http://www.grisoft.com/doc/1
