From what I have read, Avast! does well under Vista too. -- Kind regards, Mark Veldhuis. | ||||||||||||

| Guest | Re: Recommended AV program? Both Avast! and AVG will work with Vista, so if you were happy with Avast! then there is no need to change. But, if you do feel like a change then go for AVG. I like AVG's interface because it is more use friendly than Avast! -- -- John Barnett MVP Associate Expert Windows Desktop Experience Web: http://xphelpandsupport.mvps.org Web: http://vistasupport.mvps.org The information in this mail/post is supplied "as is".

| Guest | Re: serious BUG: Avast slows down Vista inhibiting the Superfetch A few mentions of an apparent issue but that thread is still just hearsay at this point. I tried their suggested little test and couldn't really see much difference in how fast apps opened. The initial loading of an app (OpenOffice) took about 10 seconds but after that it only took about 3 seconds whether the Avast standard scanner was running or not. Similar results with MS Works and Paint.Net. A 90MB Acrobat file took around 12 seconds to open the first time, just about 2 seconds on subsequent tries whether Avast as running or stopped.
