    I'm working to setup my new Vista partition, and I can't seem to find the link to the Trend Micro Vista software on Microsoft's or Trend Micro's websites. Where go I get the AV & F software I need?

    my current set.ups:
    . Vista RC2 = windows firewall + windows defender + avast
    . XP-SP2 Home = ZA + avast + avg + spyblaster (with Ad_Aware manually once a week)

    Hmmm. If I recall correctly, it was pulled some time during 5384's public release. I used the other sponsored link, EZ Antivirus, for a time until I ditched it for AVG in RC1 (which still does not react well with the UAC). I'm using the Vista firewall for now, until either ZoneAlarm or Sunbelt Kerio decide to launch a compatible version.

    Wonders if Norton will work on Vista when it's released.

    It doesn't work now on RC1 or 2. And I seen the post about Microsoft Kernel .

    Yes, that's the one...thanks!

    I might try AVAST on Vista as well...I haven't used them before so it is worth a try.

    Norton sucks...they are even complaining now since the Windows kernel will now be locked. They can't even learn to adapt! Anyway, when my subscription with them runs out next year I'm going to move on to another company for my business. Ghost is the only thing they have that I actually like.
