    software and vista

    Does anyone know of any issues with running any of the following on Vista?..

    AVG free 7.5x
    Spybot 1.4
    adaware se personal 1.06
    spywareblaster v351

    these are programs we have recommended to users in the past but with vista arriving on the scene I was wondering if this is still a good idea....

    To the best of my knowledge, avg free isnt compatible with Vista, but Avast offers a free version that is

    I am using avg on vista and having no problems at all. It updates correctly, and runs it scheduled scans.
    It's not the computers that keep having problems, it's the users!!
