Default Best AV for Vista #5384

I would appreciate the link for the free Trend Beta AV - before I install Vista

Thank You Michael like you I would prefer NOD but this is not an option at
the moment. Really appreciate the extra advice for choice on install with
Trend, I don't want any of the extras either.

I use NOD32 on all my machines. IMO, it is the best. Amazingly, it maintains such a
high accuracy in such a small package and is easy on system resources. Some have
reported that you can get NOD32 to work on Vista, I haven't tried. I will wait until the
guys at Eset have a Vista version.

I am using Trend's beta on Vista. Seems to work well. You can during installation
choose only the AV component. That is what I did. I didn't want all that extra stuff.

After my documented issues with running AVG Pro on Vista when it was
installed on my XP disc also. AVG works provided I keep UAC disabled (most do
anyway)
I am considering a new AV to make sure everything is working - tried Avast
but it slowed boot times - reported in performance in control panel.

Trend have a beta for Vista but it seems to be the whole security package
not just an AV. I normally run NOD on my actual computer but would appreciate
advice if there is an AV which is as compatible as any could be with the
current beta.
I will definitely install a totally different one when RC1 is released to
make sure i don't have this issue with AVG needing access to C when booting.

I've had great results using Norton 360 with Vista. No virus or spyware
problems and it does a great job of security and optimization in the
background. Install it and forget it. Here's a good review of it:
