My Security Centre is wrongly reporting that dual antivirus programs are installed and switched OFF - PC-cillin (which WAS installed) & AVG (which IS installed and switched ON). How do I correct this? (I have filed a bug report) Colin

Same problem for me - initially OK, then reports Defender not working and looks for update - let's hope MS resolve this one! -------------- "glawther" wrote: Same problem here. Just started in the last few days. I first noticed that Defender seemed to be having trouble updating definitions, then I started getting SC alerts that Defender was not on, and than I had no virus software.

Why has F-Secure Anti-virus program have a built in Anti Spyware ( Which is designed for Windows Vista) when Windows Vista already has Windows Offender?....Does this not slow down the system when running two Anti-Spyware programs at once?...

brining this older post back again as my current running version of Trend is due to expire 31st Oct. I realise they have issued an extended expiry date with a new beta release but on contact I am told I have to uninstall current and then install the new one. This should be Ok but I then remembered there was another AV outside of Avast (I didn't like this with beta2 as it slowed boot time a...

I am running Vista Build 5744. Have read that the free period for One Care Beta 1.5 is 180 days. Would that be correct ?

Hi: Where the cookies are stored in Vista? Thanks in advance! Polaris

This is also a problem on my Tecra M3. Experienced this with both RC1 and now RC2. I hope someone from Microsoft is reading, as this is a bit of a show-stopper for me considering upgrading my Tecra M3 and M4 laptops to Vista.

OK, I admit it, security on Vista is a pain in the ass and for all extents and purposes will drive me not to deploy to my users because of the hassels to allow things to run. I use Angry IP scanner to search for unused IP addresses, but in Vista when I try to launch it I get the message " Windows cannot access the specified device, path, or file. You may not have the appropiate permissions...

This has happened with each install (RC1 and 2x RC2 on same PC). Security centre worked OK initially but after some crash during install (e.g. trying to get Visio 2007 beta to work, the security centre kept telling me the firewall or "malware" was not installed / working - but it was, and up to date. With defender it tried to lad an update - but defender was already up to date. This has...

How can I save my word files on root of vista system drive while keeping UAC?

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...

I know it's early days, but having managed to get AVG Free to work with build 5600 and 5728, I NOW can't get it working in RC2 5744. Anyone have any experience on this one yet? I've tried the usual XP comp. and admin. modes etc. Thanks. Haven't yet tried AVG 7.5 however, but I gather that's not a freebie! Mike

Is it in fact true we will get a different version in Europe or is it the same version all over that is "EU compliant" ? I'm not sure I like the idea of watering down security so that "security vendors" can access the Vista kernel. http://www.itwire.com.au/content/view/6327/53/ Does this mean Vista in europe will be less secure ? If this is true I will buy my version from the US when the...

Does anyone know any other good antivirus and firewall programs for windows vista except for Windows Oncare Beta 1.5?

even though UAC should pick this up (right?) I get an error saying that I do not have the permission to add a printer I get this error when I go to network connections/pc... (my pc's name)/printer then I click on the label "add a printer" when I go to control panel and then to the printers folder I can add as much printers as I like

I'm having a problem with Outlook 2007 on Vista. When I try to click on a link, I get this message; Has anyone had the same problem? I have just unloaded windows OneCare and think that it might be nexus of the problem. I looked in Outlook at the options for the job of mail folders, and have selected and un-selected the option of deals with disabling web links in email. It has not done any...

I'm pretty frustrated with this UAC thing? I understand the reasons for it, but there has to be a better way to access things. In my case all my old files were stored in c:\windows.old folder...my music files i had in folders based on the band. So i have about 100 or so folders. everytime i want to access a folder i have to grant permission, and then it tells me permission denied go to...

I've been unable to use a VPN connection to my work computer since I upgraded my home box to Vista. The interface opens but I get a "could not connect to server" pop-up and a "disconnected" message on the VPN page. I have settings the same as I did on XP, but no luck. Any suggestions.
