NOD32 is not the only one that works with Vista
Btw Vista is weird xP
cos
XP & Anything = OK
Vista & Kaspersky = FAIL
Vista alone = FAIL as far as I remember
7 & Kaspersky = OK
Home Users ESET NOD32 Antivirus version 4:
Is it real free ware or only a free 30day trial?
Thanx for the info Gunny. I will be updating my pc in the next few months so this info is very helpful.
Which version of Vista are you running?
I have tried and tested the New ZoneAlarm Internet security for Vista it works well and also allows you to play FL/CF with no issues what so ever:) and you can find it here:
http://www.zonealarm.com/security/en-gb/home.htm?lid=en-gb
Now i ask myself is the issue actually with Vista or these AV programers .... if ZoneAlarm and a couple othere can manage to build an AV program which has 0 issues why cant the otheres.
Vista has no problem running CF/FL until you add a 3rd party AV program .... i have been talking to my present AV software provider (Bitdefender) about the issues with my AV blocking CF/FL and they have no resolve..... this is what has made me look and research othere AV programs and like i said i tested Zonealarm and i connected to CF with no problems at all.... ZoneAlarm are now using Kaspersky's basic AV engine in there software so its not a bad all round program.... I have decided to go for Kaspersky AV as i had seen that on an independant test they out scored most AV software by a pretty big margin scoring 74% virus detection and Bitdefender in 2nd place scoring 54% and even tho it won't let me connect to CF/FL i would rather go for security any day.
Also im my research i came accross a very good Spyware program and after doing some research there actually the best spyware program its called spyzooka they offer a garunteed 100% removal of any spyware ... maleware.... you can find it here:
As for antivirus, I use AVG.
You might want to check this antispyware:

I'm using it for years.(and it's free)
same here. AVG Free. Decent enough for all what i need it to do. Plus it does actually work lol
I use Vista 64 bit Home Premium
No VISTA - more fun!
Actually I have had ZERO issues with Vista on any game I have played, including some that are as old as freelancer.
Not to mention I can run 8 gig of ddr2 1333 ( and I am). So I don't see where not running Vista is more fun.

working w/ Kaspersky Technical Preview For Windows 7 (the one you can download via the Action Center)
XP is more fun from the moment it doesn't spoil my hardware resources for nonsense
if it was good, MS wouldn't be launching 7, 3 years later
FL is working with Avira Antivir on Vista (Connection to the server)
I'm running Vista Home Premium 32bit on a laptop using Avira AntiVir. Here's the download page if anyone needs it.

I am using Windows XP Professional Service Pack 3 and running BitDefender Anti-Virus 2009
I installed windows 7 last week
Avira runs fine
zonealarm is useless... incompatible
but from some experience in the past days i believe that the windows firewall is pretty good
@ OP, what do you think of win7? do you think it will be worth the switch or just stick with XP/Vista?
