Does anyone know if McAfee is going to support and upgrade to Vista? I have
Internet Security Suite 2007 and Vista will not let me install, incompatible.
I tried there site, what a waste of time. If not, which software will support
Vista?

According to McAfee's site, their software does support Vista. Since I
don't recommend McAfee I can't say anything further about why yours
isn't working.

Here is a list I made of antiviruses that are certified to work on
Vista. Please note that the certification statement comes from the
programs' websites and does not mean that I've tested them. YMMV.

For 32-bit programs:

Jesper Johansson has made a list of 64-bit antivirus programs:

The latest applications at McAfee all support Vista 32-bit. Soon 64-bit
too, but news yet for that.

A "sticker" (patch) is available for the boxed retail version of McAfee
Internet Security Suite and the other McAfee products. Ask McAfee for the
link to the download patch. Downloaded versions already are Vista compatible.

Yes, version 11.2 does indeed support Vista. No problems yet.
