Vista RC1 - AntiVirus Solutions..?? which ones actually work?
Have Microsoft FORCED us to install Trend Micro because they (Trend Micro)
are Contractors to Microsoft supplying AV's on thier servers (probably to get price cuts for forcing customers thier way) I tried 3 AV's (Bit Defender 9 and 10 / Kaspersky & AntiVirus Personal) but ALL didnt work and yet the security centre led me to Trend Micro Have any other testers had any other AV's working on Vista RC1..? if so which ones? All other Apps seem fine apart from McAfee Site Advisor when opening a link from Google, it crashes IE..... Any tips on Anti-Viruses for Vista RC1 5600 |

Hi,
No, they might like too; but nope. Try AVG Free; or Avast. Jeff "Snadge" wrote in message ...

Once Vista is RTM, you should see all the major Antivirus players will have
offerings (my current favs are NOD32, Kaspersky and BitDefender, in that order.) Until that time, you can register for and download Vista betas for the following, both of which include a free 1 year update subscription: Avast: http://forum.avast.com/index.php?topic=23424.0 eTrust: http://www.my-etrust.com/Microsoft/vista/default.aspx Hope this helps -- Russell http://tastycomputers.com "Jeff" wrote in message ...

Maybe it's different from you but at no point in my testing have Microsoft employees driven up to my house and threatened to drink all my coffee unless I install particular bits of 3rd party software at their whim. At the moment there is limited choice for "system level" type software to work with the new OS, which is to be expected when this is the class of software most likely to be fundementally affected by changes to the OS as testing goes on. This is what beta-testing is all about, and you need to either get used to it or wait for RTM, I'm afraid. |
