Avast 4.7.881 Home saved my RC1 today from a virus

[Sascha Benjamin Jazbec]

Just yesterday I installed avast Home.

The Guys at Alwil Software have released a BetaVersion that works now on
RC1.

Windows Vista still claims it is incompatible, but it is working. I have set
it to not show any tray Icons, because they were rotating and flipping all
the time. At least I thought, well better a hidden antivirus tool than none.

Now, today I started WindowsMail, and I was presented a big screen that said
"Virus found".I told Avast to delete the Worm. ( Swen Win32 ).

Look here that it is working :

If you want Avast ( its free for Home Users if you register for a Key ) on
RC1 go here >( it is a BetaRelease) :

Look for the BuildNumbers of Avast, it must ´say 4.7.881 or higher to work
with RC1

The Virus was trying to SAVE you from a HORRIBLE Vista User experience....
It wanted to help your computer have a normal OS by formating your
disk....and forcing you to install XP... but nooooooooo
you didnt want to listen!

I must add that that was not a Virus but an Antibody, trying to fight the
infection (vista)
