Default Stock internet security by Time Warners Road Runner any good?

Just curious if the security they give you access with Road runner is very effective or do you need to get a Third party internet security program?

Erm I guess it's always better to get a thirdparty browser like IE or Mozilla...

Road runner has a internet security program called Ez-Armor.I was wondering if that is good by itself or do you need to add something like kesperkey 7.0?Also will having 2 security programs interfere with each other and you should just pick 1?

Yes, two AV-s can interfere with each other, and no, you don't need any other Antivirus installed currently.
You may need the Firewall though.
