Anti Virus for Windows Vista
Running Windows Vista Ultimate Edition and am having a ton of problems with F-Secure's beta for Vista.
Anyone else running Vista having success with any solid A/V platforms?

It is in Virtual PC, so I delete all install and changes upon exit, so I don't worry about getting anything in it.
Or I might go to the setup I have now... using AVG on my "other" computers, using a top anti-virus on my main, and then using a firewall from someone like zone alarm.
At the end though, I'm not sure what I am going to do... depends on what is out there next month. Wow... next month.
Next year is going to be oh, so good.... Even with the vista release, I can't WAIT until the Mac OS X release.
I've not done a lot of research on products to use with vista... but hopefully, MS's anti-virus will be on par with the other leading companies. It would be a disaster if it were not... so many people depend on MS....Windows 10 to Linux and Mac OSX: I'm PARSECs better than you. Eat my dust!!!

I used Trend Micro PC-Cillin for XP, and it worked fine.

I had good luck with Symantec AV v10.1/10.2 during the beta and ran it on my production machine for a short while without incident.
If you have to operate your company behind the scenes or under a fake name, maybe it's time to leave the industry and start something fresh.
