It's a beta, but then if you're running Vista then you're a little late to be worried about that: http://forum.avast.com/index.php?topic=23424.0 -- -- Robert Moir Microsoft MVP

Morning all, I'm running RC-1. I ran spyware Doctor and it flagged bitsprx4.dll and wininit.exe as viruses. Windows site isn't clean on thses and Spyware Dr. can't get rid of them. Also I cannot delete them in safe mode or using XP64 (dual boot system). Any ideas? Thanks, John

Most of my desktop icons, word files, IE7/Mail have this security icon on their right lower corner. I associated that with TrendMicro AV (vista beta version) but uninstall of that software, manual registry cleaning also did not solve it. Does anyone know what is going on? http://img372.imageshack.us/img372/3015/iconszd9.png Sorry about the externally linked image. But there is no easy way to...

I'm having trouble downloading a certificate for VPN from my employer's website because when I get to the certificate page, I get the pop-up message that an Active X control is downloading. But it never loads; it just hangs there. As a result, I'm unable to get a certificate, which seems to be the only thing keeping VPN and Citrix from running. I'm running Vista RC1. Any ideas? Thanks in...

Ok, I cannot comprehend what Microsoft was thinking. I cannot install sound drivers. I cannot install 3rd party applications that I paid for that require driver installs. For example, Alcohol 120%. I used that to mount images that I own the rights to. Guess what - no matter what I do or tweak, Vista 64-bit will NOT allow it to install a driver. Same goes for Cubase. I'm driving myself...

Today I got 3 times a BSOD thanks to Trend Micro 14. I'm using the Vista RC1. TMTDI.sys crashed several times. What's a good (free) anti-virus alternative for Vista RC1? I've just installed eTrust EZ Antivirus.

Since Vista is being touted as a secure improvement over Windows XP, it would be nice to know.

In XP it was simple, just click "view certificate" then "import certificate" and you were done. I cannot figure out how to do this in Vista and I need to install a certificate in order to access my Outlook Web Access site on my company server... Can anyone help with this?

In XP it was simple... when you log onto a site that has a non trusted certificate, you simply had to click "View Certificate" then "import certificate" and it would be installed. I cannot for the life of me figure out how to install this same certificate (to my company server) onto my Vista computer. Can anyone help?

AVG Free AntiVirus 7.1.405 seems to work fine with Vista 5536 but I have one question. When I open the application and manually ask AVG Free to look for updates I have to tell UAC that it is OK for this application to proceed. I checked the upgrade executable program's security access permissions (avginet.exe) and everything is checked except "special permissions". What do I need to do...

I installed Vista RC1 yesterday and has been working fine. This morning I connected it up to my domain and still works ok. My only problem is that if I log on as a local administrator the ability to change the Proxy settings in IE are disabled. This doesn't happen for our XP machines. I've check the local policy and can't see anything to cause this problem. Any suggestions, or is this a...

I installed Vista RC1 yesterday and have now connected it to a domain this morning. Now if I log on as a local administrator the LAN Settings in Internet Explorer are grey'd out. Nothing is set the local policy, does Vista apply its GPO's in a different way than XP? Or is this just a bug?

Hi! I've got Windows Vista RC1 (5600) and I've been using AVG Anti-Virus. I am not very impressed with it. Can some one please suggest a better one? I've heard Avast is good, but if it isn't I don't want to download bad software. Thanks in advanced.

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...

With UAC enabled in Vista build 5536, I get confirmation prompts in admin accounts, and I get password dialog boxes in standard user accounts. And of course standard users can't read each other's home directories. Then I ran secpol.msc and under Local Policies\Security Options I disabled User Account Control: Run all administrators in Admin Approval Mode, and then rebooted. Now, as expected,...
