Hi guys,

Christmas visit and as usual, time to fix my family computers.

Anyhow, I wonder if any of you is aware of any free antivirus solution for vista computers.

I hate how intrusive Norton utilities are, and here in Spain, the cost is over 50 euros/year.

Any solutions out there?

Thanks for all your input and enjoy the new year.

Cheers,

C

If AVG Free has a Vista ready solution as I presume by The Godfather's input, go for it, I have the XP version since my brother has to run some Windows only stuff with his intel iMac and it is quite right.

AVG Free is quite a resource-hog, but works as a free antivirus solution really well.
