Best Anti-Virus for vista?

[peat moss]

Well your lucky then VB , I prefer Kaspersky or F-Secure and to be honest just trying Vista as well . Its not just Security programs some of my fav, programs like Tuneup 2006 , Nero 7 .5 or Ccleaner won't work at the moment or have bugs . Theres more but can't remember them all .

Blessing is my hardware is working flawlessy ! All 1900 drivers included on my RTM install disk .

Maybe because nobody has heard of it?

Does it really work with Vista? The site says: "ClamWin is a Free Antivirus for Microsoft Windows 98/Me/2000/XP and 2003.

No Vista mentioned.

"Please note that ClamWin Free Antivirus does not include an on-access real-time scanner. You need to manually scan a file in order to detect a virus or spyware."

"Since Clamwin is a passive antivirus, it cannot scan files by itself. But you can configure some applications, for scanning files automatically when downloaded. "



That kinda defeats the purpose no ? I want my e-mail protected automatically I'm not the only on this computer .

I just tried it and it really is just a basic manual scanner. It's also very slow.

I don't see myself using this installed in any of my setups. Maybe just keep the portable version on my keyring for emergency.

You know VB , I love Open Source programs but this one needs a lot of work .
It only works with three programs ? Flashget , Firefox , Windows Live Messenger for real time scaning , I could n't find a Bittoerent that they mention .

I always read the support forums when I try a new program .
