Antivirus fo Pre-RC1: BSOD installing AVG, avast not working, PC-Cillin OK
I got a blue screen when installing AVG antivirus trial.
Cannot use avast because of a known problem with is said to be fixed in RC1. PC-cillin seems to work. Only hat to reenable the Vista firewall which PC-cillin setup did disable even though I selected minimum install (without their firewall). |

Antivirus fo Pre-RC1: BSOD installing AVG, avast not working,
I've tried the following antivirus software with Vista build 5536 all with no
success. I have yet to find a single antivirus solution that works with this build. AVG Professional (BSOD) before installation completes. Notifed Grisoft and sent them installation files to review. AVG Free installs but does not auto load at startup nor does it automatically get updates EZ Trust will not install period PC Cillin will install but has difficulty downloading updates. Turns off Windows Firewall when minimal install without firewall is chosen and does not allow right click scanning of files. Phil. "Hilmar" wrote: working here also.

Antivirus fo Pre-RC1: BSOD installing AVG, avast not working,
I did get eTrust EZ antivirus to install but on boot I think it is windows
defender that does not permit it to load. When I click to permit it, windows explorer stops repsonding briefly, my desktop temporaily goes away and then finally comes back and it appears to be working. When I notified computer associates they advised me to uninstal windows defender and try it. They wanted me to connect in a on line chat with one of their techs, but at the time I was in XP and figured if I was going to download a client to talk to them that I needed to be in vista at the time. I don't even see how to uninstall windows defender and am not sure I would want to. Although spywareguard and spyware blaster both are working beautifuly. -- imadreamer2 "PhilMaznyk" wrote: I've tried the following antivirus software with Vista build 5536 all with no success.
