I use Nod32. Very effective and works very well with Vista. "Doofy" <rooigrond.TakeThisOut@hotmail.com> wrote in message news:eO%23Kk4N5HHA.980@TK2MSFTNGP06.phx.gbl... > What is the best Anti-Virus software For Vista Ultimate?

I would persoanlly avoid OneCare. Not just a matter of the rating but the fact that it will not let you really configure it effiecently. For example I run a serious hardware firewall for my network. The OneCare firewall is a pain in the butt so I turn it off. However by doing this OneCare is now screaming at me all the time my system is not secure. You cannot just turn of the features you do not want without the system being unhappy. AVG, Grisoft, Nod32, Kaspersky, Trendmicro, Bitdefender All of these support 64 Bit Vista. I really like the Kaspersky thought I know many that also like trendmicro and Bitdefender. However with AVG and Avast being free it is really hard to suggest anyone BUY an AV package. -- Computer-Ed

Huh? Windows OneCare has rated at the bottom of the barrel in effectiveness in independent testing. There is no one best, but this is certainly a poor choice. __ "Carey Frisch [MVP]" <cnfrisch.DeleteThis@nospamgmail.com> wrote in message news:80922D53-E821-4C95-A2C0-CC9559AA44EB@microsoft.com... > Windows OneCare...you can try it FREE for 90 days! > http://onecare.live.com/standard/en-us/default.htm > > -- > Carey Frisch > Microsoft MVP > Windows Shell/User > > ---------------------------------------------------------------------- > > "Doofy" wrote: > > What is the best Anti-Virus software For Vista Ultimate?

I know everyone is giving great opinions on the best antivirus for Vista ...... I use AVG by Grisoft and I find it to work extremely we ..... i use it on all my windows systems ... never had a problem with it ...... I have had a bad experience with avast once and that is why i never tried it again ...... but AVG in my opinion is a very good candidate .....
