Grisoft, the maker of the popular free antivirus software AVG has announced that Microsoft has fixed a bug that was preventing AVG from installing on Vista Beta 2. You need to get an update though.
Peter Cameron of Grisoft’s Australian distributor Avalanche Technology said Vista Beta 2 users should obtain the Microsoft patch via Windows Update. “After application of the update, AVG products can be installed and used without any further problems or restrictions,” he said.

It's free and, well, you do get what you pay for.

Avast is working just fine on my Vista install here...Ignore me. I read the comment above quickly and turned it into "Avast and AVG DON'T support Vista."

Hit Ctrl+F and search for the update that applies to AVG.
... took me forever to find this. All the news reports (Monday) about this fix just tell you that Windows Update will take care of it... well, it certainly didn't in my case.
