It was the big name AV that failed Vista

Samic Updated - 16th Jan 2009

I think these big name AV companies represent the very
bottom of the barrel - some of the least innovative
companies to produce good codes in the computer
industry.

I still remember when I first tried Vista Beta 2 (Beta
1 was mostly unusable), the first AV that ran stable
on
Beta 2 was Avast... If my memory still serves, it was
all these large AV companies (symantec, CA, McAfee..)
complained about the security changes in Vista.

Those smaller companies like Kaspersky actually said
they have no problem to work on Vista at all. Frankly,
I've lost all trust on these big name AVs nowadays.
(with the exception of AVG, which seems to getting
worst by each version) If you want to use a good AV,
please do your homework and look for something like
NOD32, Avast, or Antivir.
