Hi
I need a Vista compatible Internet Security package that has ALL the features and don't mind paying for it provided it
does everything.
What I think I need:
Virus protection,In and Out going Email scanning,Firewall, Automatic Updates,Spyware,Adware,
Intrusion protection,Phishing,Spam etc.

I bought the Norton IS 2007 only to learn that Vista will not install with it so I have to return it.
I saw a package for the CA Internet Security but can't find out if it is Vista Compatible and don't know if they have a
60 money back policy like Norton does.

Any help on this would really be appreciated since you know which programs can be used.

Have a good day,
RScotti

Hi,

Nothing's fully Vista compatible yet as it's not finished code yet. Wait
until it goes into release, then start shopping.

Hi,
I only asked now since I only have a 60 day money back on my Norton product.

I am surprised that they would release a product 4 months before Vista and not have some compatibility.
maybe they plan on an update for when it Vista is released?
There not saying much about that.

Hi,

I was surprised as well that NIS2007 was released without Vista support, and
no they're not saying much about it. Return it, you can always repurchase it
later if necessary (though it wouldn't be my recommendation) and Vista
support is added.

If I do that I will be without protection. I guess I have to take a chance an hope it does have support.
I really can't see how a major vender could survive without support for Vista.

>(though it wouldn't be my recommendation)

What IS your recommendation?

Hi,

Recommendation? Not large commercial AV vendors. Best luck I've had is with
AVG (for AV only) and Kaspersky (full security product, not sure if they are
supporting Vista yet).

....which is why it's silly to offer to pay for a product now and expect 100%
Vista compatibility. Vista's still in beta; so are all the third-party
security tools that are being updated to support it. Save your money for a
Vista-compatible security suite for when it's actually out. In the
meantime, kick the tires with some of the betas.

You have very good advise however I already made the mistake of buying both NIS 2007 and Partition Magic 8.05 both need
updates and yes your right nothing available yet.
