Hello Vista users: Anyone running 64-bit Vista Feb 06 CTG and a 64-bit
anti-virus application successfully? Have tried AVAST and Symantec. In
both cases their current 64-bit corporate editions failed to work. AVAST
resulted in system slowdowns and lockups, Symantec resulted in BSOD loops.
(AVAST worked fine with 64-bit Vista, Nov 05 CTP, didn't try Symantec until
today.) As far as I can tell these are the only 2 vendors with 64-bit AV
that is Vista-aware, but neither seems compatable with the Feb 06 Vista CTP.
Anyone with some success to share?
Thanks, John

If you try ClamWin as well - www.clamwin.com works really well, but doens't
offer real-time scanning

Long list here as well:
