| | Vista security blocking my virus scanner I recently installed the RC1 build and wanted to install F-Secure Client Security as well. The installation went fine and everything seems to be working except the update function. Vista blocks the automatic updater at startup and after that the manual wont work (obviously neither does the automatic one). It says the updater is not classified yet. Is there any way to let it run? |

| | Re: Vista security blocking my virus scanner Due to many new security implications, "your" antivirus of choice must be made to be compatible with Windows Vista, not the other way around. Every company went through the same thing when Windows XP was introduced. The companies knew they had to do this but many held off until XP went gold (RTM). Right now, the best antivirus for Vista is Avast ver 4.7 (beta for Vista). It works, and this company has made changes to their product in a timely fashion to match the requirements of the evolving Vista changes. -- Regards, Richard Urban Microsoft MVP Windows Shell/User (For email, remove the obvious from my address) Quote from George Ankner: If you knew as much as you think you know, You would realize that you don't know what you thought you knew!
