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 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.

See this - if anyone can add to it, I'd be highly appreciative :o)

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

Done - thanks!
