Question Best anti-virus software for Vista?
Hello,

I'm running Windows Vista Ultimate 32-bit protected by the AVG 7.5 anti-virus suite. My question is: what is the best software for me to use for Vista, in terms of initial loading time, concise user interface and level of detection?

I am willing to pay any sum of money as long as my 3 home computers are protected. My AVG 7.5 license has expired and before I renew it, I want to make sure that it is worth doing.

Thanks for your help and time on this matter

I use nod32 and find it to be excellent for both vista and win2k/xp. I think avg still has a free version available for download. Have you checked that out?

Well so everyone knows, AVG or AVeraGe (Average) Anti-Virus is very good in detection but not good in removal. I use to use AVG and I had gotten a Trojan called Trojan.Zapchast it would detect it every time I started my computer BUT did NOT remove it. As soon as I installed Norton it was Gone. So it just depends are what you will be doing with your computer.
