Sorry, I don't rate Norton very highly.

VISTA + DriveSentry (Antivirus+Antispyware)
I am a big fan of Vista and have been using it since its release! This is partly because of the security software that i have been using since day 1. It is called DriveSentry and is great with Vista.

DriveSentry also has a neat VISTA (type) GADGET which sits on your desktop. Definately worth a try for all you windows Vista lovers.

One problem is that it is not compatible with 64bit versions of Vista but according to Wilders security forum DriveSentry will soon be compatible with 64bit.

Im not greatly technical but would love a more technical opinion on DriveSentry so that i can boost my confidence more so and reinforce my opinions!

help!!

regards,

OZZY

There are many excellent anti-virus utilities for Vista and, luckily, many of them are free. But, you need to be careful because Virus transmission occurs in many different ways. For that reason, I use a combination of Windows Live One care and Spyware Blaster (freeware) because the spyware blaster will prevent any malicious junk from getting on the system and Windows Live One Care takes care of the Anti Virus and many other things as well.

Hi
I prefere Kaspersky Internet Security, picked up three licenses for £23.00.
It always comes out tops on all the tests.
