Vista - Windows One Care Available

The Windows One Care Beta is now available for Vista. I have installed it
and everything looks OK. So you can give it a try. Perhaps will help with
some of the anitvirus problems many have experienced using Vista.

Well, if any AV is to work flawlessly in Vista- it should be from the
same company who writes the source code of the OS.

But, Beta 1.5 for Vista only installs for 32-bit versions of Vista. Sheesh!
we 64-bit folks sure are second class

Don't worry, one day the 64-bitters will rule the world! (of course their
reign will last about that long, too!)
As more and more people get 64-bit capable hardware, interest will grow
until the number of 64-bit users reaches critical mass.

Dell, HP, Gateway and many others are now selling complete AMD or Intel
Dual-Core 64-bit systems for less than $1,000, fully configured for Vista
including the Media Center.

I picked up the HP m7580n about two months ago for $850 (no monitor -- I
have the Dell 2007WFP) and love it. AMD Athlon 64 X2 Dual Core 4600", 2gb
RAM, 320GB hard drive, Nvidia GEForce 7300 (the video card I will upgrade
eventually or link it to another SLI card) etc. etc. It is a wonder Vista
64-bit machine. Now, we need some 64-bit software to make RC2 x64 worth the
struggle.

64-bit already rules the world --- somebody just needs to get MS to believe
it

I have the Trend Micro a/v program from RC1 working in RC2 ok.
It didn't want to update itself at first but I think that was an issue
at Trend Micro and their servers.

Wouldn't mind trying One Care but I'm leery of attempting to uninstall
PC-cillan to do it.

I've thought about trying WOC 1.5, too. I'm just not a big fan of programs
that try to do so much, like OneCare. I was using Trend's beta on Vista-
but, only the AV component. I removed it because I could never get it to
complete a full scan. I'm using Avast right now, it seems to work well.
Actually, I'm just waiting for NOD32 to get their Vista version out- it's not
free, but, it is the best.

ESET Achieves 40th Virus Bulletin 100% Award

NOD32 Antivirus Software Holds Record for Number of "In the Wild" Wins


SAN DIEGO - October 5, 2006 - ESET, the leader in proactive threat protection, today announced
that ESET NOD32 Antivirus received its fortieth VB 100% award in the October 2006 Virus
Bulletin Comparative Review. ESET earned its latest VB 100% score in comparative testing of 27
antivirus products running on Windows 2000 Server, further extending its eight-year track
record as the vendor with the most awards. Virus Bulletin awards VB 100% scores to products
that detect 100 percent of viruses from the WildList without false positives.

"ESET has achieved 40 Virus Bulletin VB 100% awards, more than any other vendor," said Helen
Martin, Editor of Virus Bulletin. "In Virus Bulletin's comparative tests, ESET's product has
not missed an 'In-the-Wild' virus sample since May 1998. NOD32 registered the fastest scanning
speeds of all the products included in Virus Bulletin's October 2006 comparative review." "The
product powered through the scans in stunning time, and effortlessly detected everything
offered to it without false positives, earning yet another VB 100% award for its work,"
according to John Hawes, of Virus Bulletin.

"We're pleased to be celebrating our fortieth VB 100% win, a milestone that underscores NOD32's
unparalleled history of flawless detection across a range of platforms," said Miroslav Trnka,
Technical Director at ESET. "ESET delivers the most advanced proactive technology for combating
malware in a fast and easy-to-use product, and it's an honor to be distinguished as the leader
in Virus Bulletin's In-the-Wild tests."

ESET NOD32 Antivirus version 2.5 utilizes ThreatSense® technology, a sophisticated detection
system based on advanced heuristics, to proactively identify previously-unknown viruses,
Trojans, spyware and phishing attacks in real-time. ThreatSense is built into NOD32's unified
scanning engine to provide comprehensive protection so users do not need to rely on additional
point solutions for spyware and adware protection.

VB 100% Overview
The VB 100% award was first introduced in 1998. In order to display the VB 100% logo, an
anti-virus product must have demonstrated in tests that:

-It detects all In the Wild viruses during both on-demand and on-access scanning.
-It generates no false positives when scanning a set of clean files.
-The product must fulfill these criteria in its default state.
