vista av

Following the recommendation of Zacks excellent pages I installed Avast AV on build 5308 and now no app can access the internet at all, and if I try to remove Avast at all from the control panel the machine locks solid.
Any ideas how to get rid of it guys? -- Tekguru (Daron Brewood) MS-MVP/Mobile Devices

Well to answer my own question to remove it I had to use msconfig to remove it from the auto-load options and then could remove it.
I did try booting into safe mode but when that has been accessed and I went into the control panel most of the icons, including the remove programs option just did not exist. -- Tekguru (Daron Brewood) MS-MVP/Mobile Devices

I must deeply apologise about it on my articles list, I need to get the AV page up to date because it seems that only the Symantec client works with it (which is a major pain in the arse from my perspective!!)

Hi Tekguru,
If you have existing Symantec AV license, you can get into the BETA for Symantec AV for Vista (http://www.symantec.com/vista)
I tried webshield, but it was a nightmare, I had to uninstall it, some have recommended disabling netshield and webshield for it to work properly on 5308.
Computer Associates eTrust 7 30 day trial works.

I've been running ClamWin (www.clamwin.com) OK in 5308. It doesn't have real-time scanning, but it does work.

Thanks Andre, have just signed up for both of these, no way I will touch the CA AV as I've had issues with it in years gone by, plus no Symantec license I'm afraid. -- Tekguru (Daron Brewood) MS-MVP/Mobile Devices

NOD32 2.5 works fine with 3508 32bit, the only thing is you have to "Run as Administrator" the NOD32 control panel, to allow it to connect to its service.

Has anyone installed the Beta of Norton and Mcafee on Vista yet? If so can you give me some feedback so I can create an article on this. Plus, my Vista is slow enough at the moment so i dont want to add to that with a heavy AV lol.

I have installed NAV 2006, and it seems to run (although it won't activate the "anti-trojan" module - possibly a conflict with Windows Defender). I haven't tried the Vista beta version yet. -- Pierre Szwarc Paris, France PGP key ID 0x75B5779B ------------------------------------------------ Multitasking: Reading in the bathroom ! ------------------------------------------------

How exactly does one do this as I installed NOD trial this morning and got that same error that it could not connect to the kernal? -- Tekguru (Daron Brewood) MS-MVP/Mobile Devices

A way to get NOD32 to start with no error is to disable UAP. Surely for the official release of Vista this problem will be fixed.

Go into the folder where you installed NOD (Should be C:\Program Files\ESET\). Find nod32kui.exe. Right-click, Compatibility tab, "Privilege Level" section, enable "Run this program as an administrator". You'll have to click the "Allow" button in the escalade privileges popup box when you open a session and that the NOD32 Control Panel is launched, but it will be able to connect to the service.

Great! At least it's possible to run it with UAP enabled then! :-)

Superb!! At last I've got an AV that works under Vista so for that my greatest thanks!
