    Anti-Virus Software

    Hi!

    I've got Windows Vista RC1 (5600) and I've been using AVG Anti-Virus. I am
    not very impressed with it. Can some one please suggest a better one? I've
    heard Avast is good, but if it isn't I don't want to download bad software.
    Thanks in advanced.

    Avast is excellent. http://www.avast.com to register for a free key, but
    don't use the download from there, as it has not been updated with the
    RC1-compatible version. Instead, go here:

    I second that. Avast works very well. I have it running on 3 different computers with Vista RC1. No issues at all with Avast.
