| | Re: Anti virus That was true until a few days ago but if you are getting the Vista updates you will find this has been fixed. I installed the update and then installed AVG free without a problem. It is running now and is quite happy. Paul wrote: > AVG free isn't compatible with Vista Beta 2 > > Does anyone know of an AV program, preferably frree, which will work! > > Thanks > > |

| | Re: Anti virus I installed the free AVG version - installed fine - when I re-booted it said it could not initialize (sp) the program. If I go the the AVG Control Center the tray icon appears and all seems OK. I have used AVG for years with XP, never had this problem. Avast works with Beta 2 without any problems.

| | Re: Anti virus EZ Antivirus is free for a year to all Vista beta testers, Vista directed you to their site. It's working great for me. Why didn't you use it?
