Vista - Free Antivirus for Vista, anyone?

Anyone know of any good free antivirus that works with Vista, AVG doesn't
work and neither does another one I've tried.

I've been without antivirus since I installed Vista ages ago, and that's not
too great.

Avast 4.7

Google is your friend.

No it doesn't.

Actually, from what I've heard, AVG Free Edition now does work with Vista as
an update went through a few days ago through Windows Update so it would
work. I use Avast! 4.7 Home Edition though and it works fine.

AVG works if you install the Windows update they offered recently
(don't know the KB article number off the top of my head, sorry).

Avast seems problematic for some though. Probably they'll work it
all out by the time vista goes Gold.

Trend Micro has a free antivirus available as well. Works good.

The trial is for one year. So, yes, they do. Other products will also show
up there.

Yes, I've removed Avast and installed AVG free edition when the patch
was available.

newer builds yet.
