anti virus vista

Does OneCare still not support Vista? Any recommedations on a Vista-friendly antivirus?
Chris

Microsoft itself is not too interested in supporting x64 enabled software or services. MSN Music stuff, Windows Meida Player stuff, all kinds of ActiveX controls, stuff for IE 6 x64, Live stuff, OneCare stuff. At least they are attempting to do Defender for XP x64. (Doesn't work though.)
As for partners, it is practically impossible to get good x64 Antivirus support for XP, much less Vista.... not sure about Vista x86 though.

No, Windows OneCare won't be supported until after Vista is released, right now its target base is Windows XP. Recommendations, Windows Life Safety which is online scanner, eTrust Enterprise 8.0 Public Beta Trial, Macaffee Enterprise 8.0 BETA for Vista is expected in March, Avast!

"As for partners, it is practically impossible to get good x64 Antivirus support for XP" - I am running Symantec AV 10.0.1 and it works just fine on x64 (Avast and Nod32 are free.

Yeah but how many of these work or are obtainable, AVG fails to install, Symantexc needs a license code. NOD I'm about to try.

OneCare Live is expected to be rolled out into beta at the time of RC1 (a month or so after the Beta 2 release, and about the same time OneCare Live is released as a full product) and will be run as a beta on Vista.

NOD 32 came installed on my Vista computer. Works better than others I have seen.

One care RTM'd in a lot of countries the same day Vista went on sale to the public and 1.5 works in Vista. One twist I've noticed.
Vista loads with Defender. One Care has its own native spyware scanner. It turns off Defender and you don't need it, but Defender will boot up with a bang on it. You could run Defender too and I have, but I just hide Defender. I haven't seen a lot written about this but WOC 1.5 comes with its own Spyware scanner.

The market release of Windows Live One Care is completely Vista and XP compatible. In fact, Best Buy was giving it away with new Vista OS sales. I am using Vista and WLOC on my computer and everything is working like a dream.

I was using Windows OneCare before installing Vista. What ant-virus programs are currently compatible with Vista?

I know that AVAST works - and is free for personal use.

The "free" CA software is asking me for permission to load the CA Tray every boot. Then I get a screen that says it's shutting down due to a unknown problem. I can't wait for Norton '07...
