Best ANTI-VIRUS program that is Vista compatible

[VB Programmer]

In your opinion, what is the BEST antivirus program that is out there
(compatible with Vista.)

I've been using Norton for YEARS, which is unstable at times. I don't like
McAfee either.

I'm contimplating either Kaspersky 6 or BitDefender 10, but don't know much
about these.

Thanks....

I've been using the free version of Avast! with Windows Vista
and it works wonderful without any issues.

I will vouch for BitDefender. I've been using it with little or no
problems. I used it on Win XP Pro as well and it caught everything
extremely well - even the new virus stuff. I found out after I caught
it that they where the only program that caught almost all of the new
viruses that Consumer Reports created for a controlled lab experiment.
Best money I ever spent!

The best virus scanner is always the software which *I* use at present;-)

All major virus scanner will be Vista compatible very soon.

At present, I use Avast and AVG on my Vista Ultima RC2 b5744
installations.

On my XP Pro SP2 installations, I use NOD32 and Kaspersky 6, and even
Avira AntiVir.

(Norton? McAfee? Long, long ago...)

I would say NOD32. It doesn't give much performance impact like Norton or
the bigger AV software.

Trust Kaspersky NOT Microsoft's Security Center. Remeber if it was up to Microsoft they
would have you run OneCare which is the lowest rated anti virus product on the market.

I am SURE happy I'm sitting here with XP Pro SP2 and Norton Internet
Security 2007, which works SMOOTHLY and EFFICIENTLY and takes up VERY little
of my time worrying about it. I just update it daily and it does all it's
supposed to do.

Windows Defender does the SAME.
