Antivirus - What works

[Richard Urban]

Has anyone been able to get "any" common antivirus programs to work with
beta 2. I am not talking about enterprise versions. Antivirus versions for
home computers only.

Lets get a list going!

CA eTrust = problematical. I had to remove it as it was freezing my system.

Avast 4.7 32-bit

run "Bcdedit.exe /set nointegritychecks ON" from an elevated command prompt
on Vista x64 (Thanks Barb Bowman for the tip)

Avast works - I took a custom install and only loaded the "Standard
Shield". Basic protection and only inflicts a slight performance penalty.

I am trying Avast 4.7 now. Will post back after a few reboots, as that is
what seemed to kill CA eTrust on my system.

CA crashes my system, I had to remove it in safe mode.

Avast 4.6 Server Edition Does NOT Work on Windows Server Code Name Long Horn
Beta 2, Just FYI.

 

[R. McCarty]

I should have noted that I was only commenting on Vista - not
Longhorn. Thanks for the clarification.

Zack - I just installed SAV 10.02 on beta2 and it does not install -
autoprotect is disabled by Vista from running due to instability. You may
want to edit your entry on the website.
