Antivirus software necessary?
Thanks for this John. I couldn't make Avast work in 5536, I think if I
configured Driver Veriifier not to inspect its software drivers it would--several people are having that problem and P-Cillin works great. Since Vista has a decent firewall configurable with the Advanced MMC snap-in, I didn't load the whole firewall Available in P-Cillin 14. Appreciate this. It solved my Vista 5536 and up AV problem hopefully. CH "John Barnett MVP" wrote in message ... If you use the internet it is essential. I'm currently using the Beta version of PC Cillin (details are available in the security center window - Microsoft currently recommending PC Cillin and Trend Micro. While these Beta versions are free at the moment they won't always be. Some other freeware anti virus applaictions are AVG Anti Virus and Avast! I have had Avast working fine on Vista, AVG has been somewhat troublesome for me, but others say it works fine. -- John Barnett MVP Associate Expert http://xphelpandsupport.mvps.org The information in this mail is supplied "as is".
