Vista - Vista RC1 Antivirus help

Have Microsoft FORCED us to install Trend Micro because they (Trend Micro)
are Contractors to Microsoft supplying AV's on thier servers (probably to get
price cuts for forcing customers thier way)

I tried 3 AV's (Bit Defender 9 and 10 / Kaspersky & AntiVirus Personal) but
ALL didnt work and yet the security centre led me to Trend Micro

Have any other testers had any other AV's working on Vista RC1..? if so
which ones?
All other Apps seem fine apart from McAfee Site Advisor when opening a link
from Google, it crashes IE.....
Any tips on Anti-Viruses for Vista RC1 5600

I also found that AVG antivirus doesn't work, i haven't had anything about
"Trend Micro" though.

Hi Kallum,
If you need anti-virus for RC1 goto security centre within vista and click
on the 'do something about it' button in Anti-Virus Protection on/off (when
it is off) and it will lead you to Trend Micro 14 (Vista Beta) but only 5
weeks trial then you have to buy OR

Thanks for the etrust lead . etrust internet security loaded fine, with the
program blocked on reboot. Selected to run the programs from the systray
warning pop=up, and all works well, so far. No incompatability warning from
etrust install. again, thanks for the footwork

Free AVG is working fine here on Vista RC1. It just needs UAC elevation for
manual update, which is a little annoying.

My experience with CA was not a good one. It installed fine, but after
running for a while I experienced all sorts of Application hangs, upon
further investigation into these hangs it had to do with CA, after removing
CA and going to Trend Micro 14 (Vista Beta) everything works great. I
recomend against CA at this time.

AVG Beta 7.5 works OK on RC1 and RC2 - the Security centre doesn't remember
this though!
