Anti Viruses

Just got Vista RC1 Build 5600 and I have been trying to find an anti virus
that works with Vista, normally I use Norton Internet Security 2006, but i
am hesitant to install it as I am not sure if it works with Vista. And I
havent seen any Norton beta versions for vista , or at least I have not been
offered a chance to beta test it as of yet.

Can anyone suggest any that work with Vista RC1???

I had really good luck with TrendMicro's PC-Cillin.

Re: Anti Viruses

Hey Bill,

I am actually impressed with OneCare. How about you? Have you seen where
it's actually caught a virus?

Re: Anti Viruses

Yoshi,

Yes, I find it to be perfect for what I do. I don't hear from it, or see it
unless it detects an issue. Which is the way it should be. Very little CPU
and RAM overhead currently.

So far I've only tested some sample viruses, but nothing real... which is
fine by me!

Yup. Avast. It's free for home users. And works with RC1 and 2 X86 and
x64.
