| Guest | Re: A place to tell Microsoft your opinions on which antivirus program to use with Vista Several of those have been shown in this newsgroup and elsewhere NOT to be compatible with Vista. Many of those, when installed, result in non- or dys- functionality of Windows Mail. I don't see AVAST on there either, which is one of the more compatible products. I wonder how much the companies paid Microsoft to get listed on that page. And I wonder how many of those products Microsoft actually tested to see if they were in fact compatible. steve <robertmiles@xxxxxx> wrote in message news:OlmCrzrLJHA.3080@xxxxxx Quote: >A place to see which antivirus programs Microsoft recommends > for use with Vista, and then tell Microsoft your opinion on which > antivirus program to use with Vista: > > http://www.microsoft.com/protect/viruses/vista/av.mspx > |

| Guest | Re: A place to tell Microsoft your opinions on which antivirus program to use with Vista I wouldn't even use Symantec or McAfee anti virus. They are only added to new PCs because the PC Manufacturer gets a commission when you renew your subscription with Symantec (Norton) and/or McAfee. -- -- John Barnett MVP Windows XP Associate Expert Windows Desktop Experience Web: http://xphelpandsupport.mvps.org Web: http://vistasupport.mvps.org Web: http://www.silversurfer-guide.com The information in this mail/post is supplied "as is".
