AntiVirus for vista?


Recommended Posts

Hi there.

I have the latest vista build (5231, but not the idx one).

I tried to install both AVG free and Kaspersky Personal Pro, but failed:

AVG could not write to registry; Kaspersky refuses to start (Can't install on this windows machine, or something like that).

I heard both of them should work though...

Any idea of another software? I would really like to connect to the net from Vista..

Thanks,

Guy.

so -- use the net and don't do anything stupid and you should be good.

until AV software advertises it is vista compatible, i doubt you're going to find one. every av product i know of sits at kernel level. if the kernel is changed say from xp to vista, like it has, you're not getting any of them to work.

Not only do I run Vista without an AV, I run my everyday XP system without an AV as well.  If you're smart about it, an AV is absolutely not a requirement for going online.

mmm...i disagree. AV is a good idea no matter how you look at the situation.

You could also use "Run in Compatibility Mode" and select Windows XP
