A while back I had trouble with stuck messages and was told that it could be
my McAfee and its problems relating to the new windows mail. My subscription
is coming due shortly and I want to make the best choice for my new Vista and
windows mail. I also have outlook express and XP on my old computer which I
still use so I want somehting that is compatible with both. If McAfee is
still a problem please tell me. And also give me an alternative.
Thanks,
Sandy

I'd recommend using AVG Free http://free.grisoft.com/ or Avast (also free)
http://www.avast.com/ I'd recommend using the built in Windows Firewall and
Windows Defender.

I know I'll get shot down in flames here, but McAfee's new 2008 products are
much better at handling WM plus they are 32/64bit Vista compatible. Not
yet released, though it should be soon.

If true, it's about time they came out with fully compatible Vista products.
Still, given their track record I would not buy their stuff.

If it does work now they'll screw it up in an update.
 
So the concensus is to go with Avast or Grisoft? Which one is the better of
the two?
Thanks all,
Sandy
 
I don't know which is better, but for novices Avast is easier
to install because you don't have to select custom install and
unselect the mail scanning module (as is necessary with AVG).
With Avast you can do a standard install, and then unselect
the email scanning option afterwards.

Thanks Gary. You have been very helpful.
I love this discussion service. I have used it twice now and the answers
have been quick and have worked well.
Thanks again,
