| | Which Anti-Virus and Security for Vista? Hi: I've been a long-user of Norton as far as I remember. However, I wonder Norton is good for Vista? Or, any other anti-virus and security is more preferrable to Vista knowing Vista is more complicated OP in comparison to XP. Any inputs on this would be appreciated. |
