best av vista 5384

After my documented issues with running AVG Pro on Vista when it was installed on my XP disc also. AVG works provided I keep UAC disabled (most do anyway) I am considering a new AV to make sure everything is working - tried Avast but it slowed boot times - reported in performance in control panel.
Trend have a beta for Vista but it seems to be the whole security package not just an AV. I normally run NOD on my actual computer but would appreciate advice if there is an AV which is as compatible as any could be with the current beta. I will definitely install a totally different one when RC1 is released to make sure i don't have this issue with AVG needing access to C when booting.

I use NOD32 on all my machines. IMO, it is the best. Amazingly, it maintains such a high accuracy in such a small package and is easy on system resources. Some have reported that you can get NOD32 to work on Vista, I haven't tried. I will wait until the guys at Eset have a Vista version.
I am using Trend's beta on Vista. Seems to work well. You can during installation choose only the AV component. That is what I did. I didn't want all that extra stuff.

Thank You Michael like you I would prefer NOD but this is not an option at the moment. Really appreciate the extra advice for choice on install with Trend, I don't want any of the extras either.

Thanks one of my frequented forums ;) Actually I haven't been in the NOD section for a little but will be watching as Vista release date gets closer.
I downloaded Trend quite a large download presume it is because it is the whole suite. Decided to leave the install until my mind was clearer as I was working out other applications and lost time.

Yes, it is the whole suite. Just watch for the prompts, you'll get to select what you want to install or not.
Let me know what you think or if you have any problems.

Wow...I get more impressed with people every day. On our radio show (TechTAK) we've pushed NOD32 since we started, and have probably gotten them quite a bit of business due to about 50% of our caller's problems are caused by either Norton or Incredimail.
The best part about NOD32 is that you don't know it's there unless it finds something or there is a problem. It doesn't use much for resources at all and it doesn't take over your computer.
I have tried to install and run it and have had various problems doing that on Vista x64. (It's a different problem every time...) Usually it won't even install. A couple times I have installed it and thought it was working and ended up with a "windows must close NOD32..." for whatever reason. There are people who claim that it works on the older releases, but I need something for this one so, yes, I am running the TrendMicro.
I emailed ESET and asked them. They said that, officially, they can't give support for NOD32 v2, but that v3 in it's later form should work on Vista. At this point, they said that the system is just too different from XP to reliably work, so even if you do get it installed and running, it probably is not actually working.

I have used Avast since the Vista Beta has been available, afaik it is the only AV that officially supports it.

I used NOD32 up to 5472. Simply run NOD32KUI as Admin and it will load. On 5472 that stopped working however. For 5472 I downloaded the Trend beta, and it seems to work as well as NOD32. In fact, there are some aspects of it that are nice.

Hi Michael
At last I have uninstalled AVG from Vista (although it is still reported in the security console - I think this may be the fact I can scan with AVG from my other hard drive)
I selected the minimal install with Trend liked the fact it did an initial scan before installing. Didn't like the fact Defender alert me to my firewall being turned off when I had actually selected minimal without firewall - confirmed as I don't have the configs for this. Even after re-boot I had to trun firewall back on.
I have updated Trend and looked about the configs - still like NOD32 but at least I have something which seems to be working. I was going to leave AVG but discovered there was only one process running when normally AVG adds quite a few plus not being able to configure was not so good.
Thanks for all the advice in this post and let's hope NOD will see Vista when out of Beta :)

Have you ever used CrapCleaner? http://www.filehippo.com/download_ccleaner/
It is a useful little program (free).
It has a registry cleaner. Not a particularly deep scan- but it can fix some reference problems in the registry. It allows you to make a backup before you apply any changes. It also has a great temp files deleter. Does a whole lot better than Disk Cleanup. I think the registry cleaner make take care of the lingering AVG references. On install, it will ask you to install the Yahoo toolbar- watch for it and uncheck it if you don't want it.
I've never tried AVG, but they haven't done too well with the VB100% award. Nod32 has more Virus Bulletin awards than any AV. I think offering a free AV is a nice thing to do. However, you often get what you pay for. Of course, I would suggest free Avast any day over the costly and bloated Symantec products. I beta tested Windows OneCare. I didn't like it, but others do and the pricing is very reasonable- you can put it on three computers.
Eset says they will have a Nod Vista version ready by the time Vista is final- I'm sure they will.

I am just trying to find right click scan on demand for a file I downloaded but it's not there. I seem to have to use the console and work down the tree to select one file.
Some nice features but I am definitely not a security suite person much prefer to have contorl over individual software. I agree it is easy to setup for people whereas NOD needs configurations if you really want to lock down (which I do) I think I am missing NOD a lot on this computer but more important to know we have protection atm.

I should have mentioned Trend doesn't have an option added to the right-click context menu.
I use ClamWin in XP and it works in Vista. http://www.clamwin.com/ It does integrate into the right-click menu for on demand file and folder scans.
It's open source software. I like it. It doesn't do active/real-time protection but it is handy as a second opinion. It does have an addin for Outlook, I don't use it.

I've had great luck with Avast! on the July CTP version of Vista.

right click is on Trend's request list although this will possibly be on the full version after beta but at least it was a missing feature for others too ;)

EZ AV ranks right down there with AVG when comes to the VB100% award- terrible.

I tried EZ AV - not happy I tried Avast - very happy

brining this older post back again as my current running version of Trend is due to expire 31st Oct. I realise they have issued an extended expiry date with a new beta release but on contact I am told I have to uninstall current and then install the new one. This should be Ok but I then remembered there was another AV outside of Avast (I didn't like this with beta2 as it slowed boot time a lot) AVG I would like but still could not get the kernel bug on booting fixed :(
Found this post again with Clam AV working with Vista. I know it is not a resident shield although presumably I would have to be clicking on things or visiting sites which I wouldn't visit even with a complete army behind me.
I always scan any file even if it has been through my AV & AT so the scan files manually is perfect for me plus I will find the Outlook plugin. Is this AV OK to use as a main one with Vista or is it really only for a back up scan/detect meaning I would need to install Trend again to extend the expiry?
I tossed up with OneCare but have yet to find out if anyone really thinks it is the best for Vista atm - as my choice of AV is definitely not compatible and I can't get AVG to work on boot I am left with a new install of Trend or this new to me Clam AV. Thanks for any advice regarding this.

I am using Trend's beta on Vista. Seems to work well. You can during installation choose only the AV component. That is what I did. I didn't want all that extra stuff.

Trend have a beta for Vista but it seems to be the whole security package not just an AV. I normally run NOD on my actual computer but would appreciate advice if there is an AV which is as compatible as any could be with the current beta. I will definitely install a totally different one when RC1 is released to make sure i don't have this issue with AVG needing access to C when booting.

I started useing OneCare and it works great on Vista.

brining this older post back again as my current running version of Trend is due to expire 31st Oct. I realise they have issued an extended expiry date with a new beta release but on contact I am told I have to uninstall current and then install the new one. This should be Ok but I then remembered there was another AV outside of Avast (I didn't like this with beta2 as it slowed boot time a lot) AVG I would like but still could not get the kernel bug on booting fixed :(
Found this post again with Clam AV working with Vista. I know it is not a resident shield although presumably I would have to be clicking on things or visiting sites which I wouldn't visit even with a complete army behind me.
I always scan any file even if it has been through my AV & AT so the scan files manually is perfect for me plus I will find the Outlook plugin. Is this AV OK to use as a main one with Vista or is it really only for a back up scan/detect meaning I would need to install Trend again to extend the expiry?
I tossed up with OneCare but have yet to find out if anyone really thinks it is the best for Vista atm - as my choice of AV is definitely not compatible and I can't get AVG to work on boot I am left with a new install of Trend or this new to me Clam AV. Thanks for any advice regarding this.

I use ClamWin in XP and it works in Vista. http://www.clamwin.com/ It does integrate into the right-click menu for on demand file and folder scans.
It's open source software. I like it. It doesn't do active/real-time protection but it is handy as a second opinion. It does have an addin for Outlook, I don't use it.

Some nice features but I am definitely not a security suite person much prefer to have contorl over individual software.

Does the constant running in the background not slow things down as you use your computer?
I am not too sure if it is for someone like me who is not an Autoupdate type person. I like to know what is doing what and when it is doing it. Same for Windows updtaes with XP I don't use the auto update although I always get my updates just go myself. I will have to look more at One care at least for Vista as beta as I don't have many options atm for an AV which I like :(

I have been using NOD32 for a few weeks now and am so pleased to have it working in Vista as this is my preferred AV :) The first release had one bug but with NOD beta RC1 issued last week the bug was fixed. A lot quicker to boot than with Trend. I was using Trend but one of there updates which included the scheduler crashed on me. They have fixed it now but I am staying with NOD as this is my main AV on my other computers and it works with Vista.

I've had great results using Norton 360 with Vista. No virus or spyware problems and it does a great job of security and optimization in the background. Install it and forget it. Here's a good review of it: http://www.pcmag.com/article2/0,1759,2101117,00.asp
