Anti Virus Program

Just removed the Windows virus software and am after a free version of AVP
that works with Vista . I will be using NOD32 once they get their version
available and working but now anyone with recommendations ?

Avast 4.7 Home Edition is free and compatible. You need to register for a
serial number.

Re: Anti Virus Program

Will,

What AV Software? One Care?

Windows Vista does not ship default with an Antivirus product.
