virus scanners

[Jim]

Does anyone know if AVG virus scanner is compatable with vista, build 5536.
Thanks

the pro version is not compatible (it actually caused the OS to reboot upon
install). the free version is working.

The free version is compatible with 5536. I am running it now on 5536 without a problem.

Are you sure it is actually working. After thinking one was working years
ago, I have taken to keeping a live virus on a floppy, but you can also use
the universal test virus, just to make sure, especially after any error
messages installing it.

I am also running the free version on build 5384. You have to download the
latest version of Free AVG. I installed it after being current on all of the
vista updates but I don't know if that is necessary or not.

Thanks for the replys and info. Think I'll give it a try. Trial version of
F-prot seems to be giving trouble, on my machine anyway. Thanks again

Microsoft is showing this Trend Micro version available for vista as a 90 day
free trial
