Vista RC1 Antivirus help
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

Vista RC1 Antivirus help
Hi Kallum,
If you need anti-virus for RC1 goto security centre within vista and click on the 'do something about it' button in Anti-Virus Protection on/off (when it is off) and it will lead you to Trend Micro 14 (Vista Beta) but only 5 weeks trial then you have to buy OR Avast: http://forum.avast.com/index.php?topic=23424.0 eTrust: http://www.my-etrust.com/Microsoft/vista/default.aspx both of these come with 1 YEAR free license "Kallum" wrote: I also found that AVG antivirus doesn't work, i haven't had anything about "Trend Micro" though.

Vista RC1 Antivirus help
My experience with CA was not a good one. It installed fine, but after
running for a while I experienced all sorts of Application hangs, upon further investigation into these hangs it had to do with CA, after removing CA and going to Trend Micro 14 (Vista Beta) everything works great. I recomend against CA at this time. "ScottyDog" wrote in message news  Thanks for the etrust lead . etrust internet security loaded fine, with the program blocked on reboot.

Symantec 360 in Beta works
