EternalEnigma21 02-09-2007, 10:56 AM you guys know of any free antivirus/spyware approved for vista yet? i havent seen anything but xp... SCRATCH THAT... AVG HAS VERS. 7.5 SOMETHING and it says its vista ready..... should've looked before I asked.... thanks... EternalEnigma21 02-09-2007, 11:08 AM after further review: I'd check out avast... the AVG doesn't have anti-spyware available and a few other things you have to pay for... avast gives you all of that for free... TheMalcolmConnection 02-09-2007, 11:13 AM That's the only difference for me and Avast. I feel like I'm a smart browser and XP SP2 as well as Vista have built-in tools that will prevent spyware, thus I wouldn't want to add anything else to take up system resources. EternalEnigma21 02-09-2007, 11:24 AM I was also checking out some reviews and cnet seems to give avast 5 stars vs. 4 for AVG... I'm not sure why, though... TheMalcolmConnection 02-09-2007, 11:32 AM Probably for the built-in spyware. That Guy 02-09-2007, 05:02 PM you can get ad-aware at Ad-Aware @ Lavasoft - The Original Anti-Spyware Company - Lavasoft (http://lavasoft.de/) or spybot search and detroy. there's a few things that work pretty well for that.
