Can anyone recommend a good free anti-virus, other than AVG, please.

Many thanks in advance.

Any particular reason you dont want to use AVG?

I gave up with AVG as it was (according to Vista) causing my PC to crash. Now installed avast, which seems pretty good, and it no longer crashes

Should have got rid of Vista instead It is so rarely used in business as it is so unreliable and conflicts with all sorts of other programs.

Aye you're telling me. As well as that, I've had all sorts of problems with my graphics cards (2 x Nvidia GeForce 8800GTX) because the drivers that Nvidia make are ridiculously unstable

Vista is actually starting to creep into organisations. I have AVG on this old XP laptop but the new Vista PC I am building will use Kaspersky. Whilst it's not free I bought my copy for £18 (new) on Ebay and that also includes firewall, antispam and anti spyware components. The fact that it was voted best by PC Pro magazine did rather influence my decision.

AVG have a new version out, I just upgraded to v8 - maybe thats better with Vista? Certainly looks a lot cooler now..

AVG 8 works fine on my PC which has XP. Also on the wife's which has Vista.

Agreed. Seems to run much faster now as well.

Cheers fella.
Should I uninstall 7.5 first ?
Sorry, I'm a bit of a technospack.
