I use the free eTrust ezAntivirus that Computer Associates offers to Vista
beta testers. http://ca.com/windowsvistabeta
I believe McAfee offers one too.

I am using Trend PC-Cillin. Before that I was using CA's EZ security
suite.

I prefer PC-Cillin, though.

I have EZ antivirus, but I would advise against it, because you have to okay
it running each time the computer starts or disable UAC.

Just my two cents.
