looking for a good Antivirus for Vista...
« on: May 27, 2007, 10:30:29 am »
Title says it all, I'm looking for a good antivirus for Vista.

used grisoft and free-av on xp but not sure if there is a better alternative using vista.

Also a firewall would be nice :-)

Avast antivirus is free and seems to work pretty well in Vista.

I don't know of any firewalls that work.  I upgraded to XP before I found one.

Avira (http://www.free-av.com) is what I've got on my new Vista machines... works great and updates frequently. 

I just wish there was a good firewall program for it now....

Using AVG from Grisoft on Vista, and no complaints here.
