Vista - Best ANTI-VIRUS program that is Vista compatible

In your opinion, what is the BEST antivirus program that is out there
(compatible with Vista.)

I've been using Norton for YEARS, which is unstable at times. I don't like
McAfee either.

I'm contimplating either Kaspersky 6 or BitDefender 10, but don't know much
about these.

Thanks....

I've been using the free version of Avast! with Windows Vista
and it works wonderful without any issues.

Look into NOD32 from http://www.eset.com. They have a 30 day trial version
available so you can give it a go and see if you like it - many do.

NOD32 is working well on my RC2 Vista.

Search the newsgroup posts for discussions about anti-virus on Vista. This
has been discussed many times.

I will vouch for BitDefender. I've been using it with little or no
problems. I used it on Win XP Pro as well and it caught everything
extremely well - even the new virus stuff. I found out after I caught
it that they where the only program that caught almost all of the new
viruses that Consumer Reports created for a controlled lab experiment.
Best money I ever spent!

Best is, and always has been, subjective. At this point in time just knowing
which ones are compatible is a being step ahead of the pack.

Until one antivirus program has proven itself superior (when used in Vista)
over a few months period I wouldn't call any "the best".

The best virus scanner is always the software which *I* use at present;-)

All major virus scanner will be Vista compatible very soon.

At present, I use Avast and AVG on my Vista Ultima RC2 b5744
installations.

On my XP Pro SP2 installations, I use NOD32 and Kaspersky 6, and even
Avira AntiVir.

(Norton? McAfee? Long, long ago...)

Same here.

I would say NOD32. It doesn't give much performance impact like Norton or
the bigger AV software.
