    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?

    I was using Avast, and had no problems with it.

    I'd generally frown upon an A/V product made by MS, but I might just give this is a shot.

    Wonder if there's a way to disable the firewall (appears to be mandatory) using OneCare.

    I don't blame you... I have ssooo many computers, that is the only reason I'm going with MS.

    But I may put MS anti-virus on my "other" computers, and go with another product on my main computer... not sure yet. I'll decide once I start using vista full time. Right now it does not even have an antivirus setup... I'm not doing anything with it... fooling around for a couple of hours here and there. 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....

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

    Just a quick update on this - they do not support Vista right now. In order to run or use OneCare, it must be on Windows XP.

    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.
