Well, it seems that among the links that under the Windows Vista test program there is 2 Virus checkers available for free that normally need to be purchased. One was eTrust EZ Antivirus. I can't recall the other one off hand but the eTrust one is the one I grabbed and installed. The license will last as long the license for the Vista beta test so it works out great. |

| | Re: Anti Virus Are you referring to EZTrust? eTrust AV 7.1 is a stable and reliable product on XP and XP Pro x64.
