Hi All, So I learned the hard way that Zone Alarm can't easily be uninstalled once Windows Vista is installed. :<)Now...that being taken care of, what do people think is the most comprehensive and best AV software to run with Vista? I'm currently running a trial version of Windows Live Care however, given the unresolved firewall issue, I don't think that is the one. Your thoughts would be appreciated. Thanks in advance, Mara

Thank you for choosing Windows Live OneCare, you've selected the right choice. WLOC has a very good firewall system, it works silently except you're asked to allow a program to access internet or not, you can add rules for firewall. WLOC is comprehensive system that inlcudes: Antivirus, Firewall, Backup, TuneUp system. Good luck

WHat are you need for a firewall, ALl the major software vendors are work on Vista version and most have Vista read product now, WHat are you looking for

I'm not looking for a firewall. I am looking for AV software forVista. I have seen the list of available AV applications for Vista and I was wondering which people thought was the best....

I have found that avast works will with Vista. They have a free program that was created recently with Vista in mind. Works for me. ;)http://www.avast.com/eng/programs.html

So Far, these are what I have tried: Panda Antivirus NOD32 AVG Free, and their antispyware product too. No issues... yet! HTH

Folks, you dont get the point, huh?? AntiVirus... is needed... not Firewall.

Windows Live OneCare is Antivirus+Firewall+Backup Tool+Tuneup+Antispyware system. Recent version 1.5 for Windows Vista www.windowsonecare.com Good luck

I was using F-Secure Internet Security 2007 before I went from XP to Vista. Although they haven't yet released a version for Vista (it's due for release in May), there is a Beta version available for trial and it seems to work pretty well (AV, spyware, firewall, spam etc.). It also has a very small footprint and you hardly know it's there. I've read a few reviews on various products and this one always seems to be in the top 3. Having previously used ZoneAlarm, Norton and various other products, I find that this is by far the easiest to setup and use. http://www.f-secure.com and http://www.f-secure.com/vista

Thanks to everyone for all of your suggestions. And yes, AV (worm protection, etc...)and SPAM filtering is my main concern - not firewall for obvious reasons. I have been using LiveOneCare and find ti quite buggy. Funny that it really doesn'twork very well with Vista. I'm typically a huge Microsoft fan however, this appneeds help!
