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: http://www.pcmag.com/article2/0,1759,2101117,00.asp "Jeff" wrote: Or; try Avast. Jeff "GW" wrote in message ...
