Problem

Hi Greek Soul

Unfortunately anti-virus software compatability has always been one of the
major issues when upgrading operating systems on all platforms. Anti-virus
software is both very clever at detecting deception (ie. compatability modes)
and specific to the operating systems they are written for.

In short, I would suggest that you only install Vista on a machine which is
operating in a protected environment, one which is shielded from threats as
much as possible, ie. a lab machine.

If you have installed Vista on a production machine then you are exposing
youself to risks and should wait for the retail release before upgrading.

Regards

Brendan

If you want to keep using Vista but feel unsafe, then create a new account
that is not administrator and try use it for most things.. like
email,messaging,browsing and opening stuff from other people and web sites..
I don't guarantee anything but a few I know have managed to be safe this way
without running separate anti virus..

Try trend micro pc- cillin 14. Go to your security center, should show no
malware/virus protection. follow links to microsoft partners and down load
pc-cillin. I have been using for several days on the 32 bit works great! I
haven't tried it yet for 64 bit. I have dual boot/ dual hardrive with a copy
of each. The general thought is the 64 bit is pretty safe from virus.
