I used this before i went to Nod-32 and its a good AV and i recommend it aswell, this also works on 32 and 64 bit systems. There is no news on when the vista version is realeased for avast but then again the XP version may work on vista.

There is many versions of this AV and you choose what the best one is for you, the price range varys on which product you buy. I have never used it myself but it has good reviews. I am not sure about a vista realease again it may be the same as avast and may run on vista already

Again there is differant products for everyone needs, this version does work on vista as my friend uses it, there will be a update for it in a month or so and it will be a vista version. Again i have not used this product but it is known to do its job.

I used this about 3 years ago it really isnt good if you still have a slow pc, hogs ram and alot of hard drive space. They update daily aswell, this version doesn't currently work on vista but they will realease one soon i guess.

I suggest not using Norton atall, it's absolute crap.

[DaveTaylor]

actually no its not absoluety crap its just the fact it rogs RAM and memory the updates are regular and the virus database is huge, it has a bigger one than nod32 but nod32 targets differant things in viruses then norton and norton goes for the known virus as others go for possible parts of a known virus to a unknown virus

[Replicada]

Reasons to hate Norton and Mcafee

1. Lots of icons - Confusing for users
2. Hogs memory - slowing processing of other applications
3. Spams for updates every boot up
4. Once un-installed leaves memory traces, which spam for you to re-purchase

Overall Anti-Virus Ratings
Not even in top 20

Poor...
