virus protection

Are there any suggestions on what is best to use or even available for VISTA
to protect against a virus attack?

Thanks in advance.

Re: virus protection

There are several available.
I use and like Eset NOD32.

Re: virus protection

AVG Free works with Vista fine, and it's free. There are others as well
(NOD32, Norton, etc)

Avast is good too, and also integrates well with Outlook 2007 for
added real time protection.
