The big boys might play here but that doesn't answer my question.

Since the final Vista version hasn't been Unleashed onto the world stage yet then it's hard to tell. Lots of stuff that currently works great on SP2 might be a total nightmare on Vista. Most likely gonna be awhile till everyone gets there code up to date to work and play nice with Vista. I'm sticking with Windows SP2 for a few more yrs. Since your one of the gennie pigs currently trying out Vista RC1 then simply install Spybot, Adaware and Spywareblaster one at a time and report back here with your results or start reading through all the Vista threads to see if your answer is there.
Thank you and come again.

Thanks. I will do it that way.
RC1 seems to be a lot better then beta 2.
I have RC1 on my second hard drive so I won't be messing up my XP.

Windows Defender is as good as those you mentioned. I think you are going to find some compatibility issues with Security type programs until the third parties get up to speed.
I mean, like Norton is taking this crap to extremes by complaning to the the EU of being locked out. Well guess what boys, your product is crappy and uses a lot of CPU cycles.

Since it is a Beta, I would agree with jmwills. Defender does most of the work. I run with my Router firewall and the windows firewall turned off and have Ad aware installed. In view of the lack of antivirus programs which will run on Vista (I am now using 5744 RC2 - no change) I do not use one at all. I keep a clean image ready and , should the worst happen, I quickly put it back in place.

Avast system requirements includes a Vista statement. I'm downloading it now to try.

[pshnfry]

Avast loaded, updated, scanning ok on Vista RC1.

I have Avast working fine on RC2 as well. Was having problems with AVG. Seems Vista likes to turn off the resident scan.

i am running vista on 2 computers,using sybot and adware,avast.without any issuse.i have rc1 and rc2.i hace found software at zdnet that work well on vista.the only real problem i ve had is my printer software.

[jmwills]

Is the printer connected to some sort of network device?

[indiandan]

no it connect by usb,printer only about a month old,vista wont allow software to load.already been to lexmark site no help there.

[jmwills]

Did you try and add it manually rather than using the software?
