Symantec is currently working on their 2007 product which should be
Vista-compatible. If they follow their normal patterns, they will likely not
upgrade current products but rather twist your arm into purchasing the
latest version.

I have on 10.1.394 and it didn't work. I got a note that a drive was not
compatible with VISTA and it was blocked!
In reality from all the old & new software I have installed, these three
items did not work:
1- Norton AV
2- Zone Alarm (latest)
3- Lavasoft Adaware Personal (latest)
Funny isn't it?

I'm using the free version of Avast Antivirus and so far it's working great
under Vista. I'm presently surprized that it works because I've depended on
Avast to protect my machines for years. AND it's free!

I have just received an update from Windows Update:

KB920143

This is to fix compatibility issues with Symantec AntiVirus Version
10.0.1.622

I will now make an attempt to install it.
