Has there been any resolution to the issue of third party antivirus programs
running on Windows Vista? Will I be able to install Norton
Antivirus/Firewall if I buy or upgrade to Windows Vista in a few months?
Thanks.

Don't put Norton anything on your machine. Avast is a very good anti
virus and it's free. http://www.avast.com/ Vista comes with a firewall.

Alias

I've been using only Norton security programs on my conputers for well over
6 years and have NEVER had a problem!

Maybe if you would use something else, you'd realize what the problems are.

Wait until you eventually uninstall them (?) and see if your statement
still remains true. Perhaps you don't realize or notice how much of
your PC's performance has been diminished by using Norton. Most
users who move to other products generally comment on how much
faster the PC runs without Norton. I've personally untangled more
than 200 computers with Norton software and can tell you for a fact
it's ( Norton Home product line ) a lot of trouble for the money. Not
just Norton, but most professional IT folks would add McAfee to the
list of products to avoid. Add to that the licensing cost and that's one
more reason to give Norton a Thumbs down. Even eTrust or CA AV
now provides 3 licenses with a $49 purchase. Last time I checked a
Norton subscription per seat was $39.

Don't put anything from Symantec on your machine.
AVG 7.5 free works on Vista.
Vista has a much improved firewall.
A much better newsgroup for Vista is
microsoft.public.windows.vista.general

I've installed a suite of identical Dell desktops from a prepped image, and
some of them gave Norton trouble, some didn't. Go figure.

I had to replace the motherboard in one of my machine, reinstall
everything and after the activation of NAV2005, Norton cancelled my
licence (the program stopped working). I wrote to them explaining
everything but they don't want to know nothing saying that I installed it
on more than one computer, not listening to what I had to say.

I reformatted everything and my machine runs much better since there is
no trace of Norton on it.

This is true with SytemWorks. With this loaded your PC runs like a boat
dragging it's anger. But I have not seen this with NAV and/or NIS or NFW
