I assume you are talking about the security suite offerings of
McAfee and Norton. In that case, their offerings provide an
"anti-virus" along with the personal firewall and anti-foistware
Vista offers.
There are excellent freeware programs in all categories, so
there is no reason to consider yourself obligated to run what
you already have.
I use the firewall application and defender that came with Vista
and added Avast! anti-virus (free). I also am behind a router/
wireless access point that has (is) a fairly configurable firewall.
Modern personal firewall applications have attempted to tackle
data leakage. You may be the kind of person willing to pay for
a good one of these, I'm not.

Can anyone comment on the effectiveness of the MS supplied Firewall and
Defender offering when compared to other commercial products (such as McAfee
and Norton)? I use Norton at the moment, and it seems to me that if one is
offered through Vista for nothing, I may as well use it rather than pay for
another?
