fine.

Daniel Côté said:Norton Internet Security 2007 runs perfectly under VISTA. Excellent at
what it does.
David H said:I have tried AVG, Avast and Kaspersky and none of these are recognised in
the
Security Center in Vista Home Prremium. Could anyone advise me of the
antivirus software it does detect or if this could be a problem with my
vista
upgrade which was from XP.
Jupiter Jones said:"What you described is Vista just doing its proper job"
FALSE.
AVG and probably the others are recognized in the vista Security Center.
I have been using AVG with Vista RTM for over 3 months and AVG is monitored
by Vista.
"Vista end users that *never* add third party programs rarely ever visit
theses Forums"
Really?
Can you back this claim with facts?
Or perhaps they know so little they can not install anything else of locate
places such as this for solutions to problems.
Define "third party programs"
That covers just about everything from any source outside Microsoft.
I do not know about you, but I use programs from sources outside Microsoft
(3rd party programs)
"XP needed third party a/v. Vista is not XP"
Not relevant.
That says NOTHING about the need for AV in Vista.
Please point to a Microsoft source that says an anti virus product is not
needed for Vista.
I am certain you do not need help finding a source that shows the need for
an Antivirus in Vista since it is already in this thread.
Suggestions such as not needing an anti virus are dangerous at best.

Will you read the brief article below for locating the word "virus"? If you
need help locating the entire Microsoft article's URL just ask. Considering
your incredible lack of knowledge regarding Windows Vista as a whole, likely,
you indeed will need help!
Jonathan Schwartz 2 said:Mathew Kimball,
Preface Note: please read my entire brief response, and please don't jump
to
conclusions before the conclusion.
Mathew, do you have a greater technical knowledge of Vista than Jim
Allchin's technical knowledge of Vista?
During 2006 Jim Allchin (before retirement) wrote a very thorough article
fully discussing and explaining why third party a/v is not necessary when
using Vista. Did Jim Allchin write do not ever install third party a/v,
no.
Instead, fully explained why those third party a/v will not harm Vista
because they run with very limited authority never penetrating Vista's
inherent Security. Has your a/v ever identified a threat of any type?
(assuming you have not weakened UAC, Defender and IE 7).
Remain uncertain for a full Reply...my dilemma, how is it possible for
responding to very stubborn dogmatic person?
Mathew, you are an intelligent man, why are you asking me questions that
you
should be fully aware?
Question, which third party applications *repeatedly* create the -most-
havoc for Vista, and why? The why is the ultimate key for knowledge!
Forthcoming a partial quote from you, the only thing that "has been
proven
so several times in this thread" Mathew's lack of technical knowledge in
respect to the inherent Security within Windows Vista.
Mathew, if you refuse researching the technical reasons for the inherent
Security within Vista, and refuse believing written articles provided by
Microsoft employees, please don't assign blame toward me, instead, argue
and
debate the IT PhDs employed by Microsoft. Jim Allchin is retired yet
available for your debate, although not certain if you would believe Jim
Allchin, at least at this writing you refuse believing Jim Allchin.
Mathew, sincere question, are you overly confident believing that only you
are right, and all others are wrong?
The manner that you jump to conclusions is somewhat alarming.
Example, today (and again), within General Discussion, there is a Post
with
Subject Line: C.O.L.A. Linux Advocacy Newcomer FAQ and Primer. The above
humorous Post discusses why Linux is far beyond an inferior OS.
Quote from the above C.O.L.A. Post: "Read these carefully before you
decide
to invest time in Linux, you
may find that you have better things you can do instead."
Mathew, easily I can guide you to the source for Vista's technical
knowledge, although, I can not force you for believing facts, don't you
think
it's time for you performing your part?
My technical knowledge of Windows Vista results from Microsoft, what about
yours?
One of these days you might realize the older you get, the more that you
realize how little you know, maybe, time will determine...

Internet Explorer Dynamic Security Protection
Through a robust new architecture, Internet Explorer 7 offers multiple,
interrelated security features to help defend your PC against malware
(malicious code or unwanted software, including worms, viruses, adware, and
spyware). Among the browser's dynamic security protections are safeguards to
help make sure your personal information doesn’t fall into the hands of
fraudulent or deceptive websites.
Web browsers perform many functions. They must be open and flexible enough
to handle a mix of website activity while maintaining sufficiently high
security to prevent unwanted data access or application behaviors. Managing
this balance is a top priority for Microsoft.
Together with Windows Defender, the security built into Internet Explorer 7
provides more levels of defense than ever before.
god sakes - this nut is playing you like a fiddle!
