Ooops, the site must be idle, I'm getting the same message when googling
for it.
Maybe a little patience will help.

A silly question:
How can one access and adopt this group?
Quick Search didn't yield any positive result for me...

Dell's Vista discussion group is much better than all the drivel on
Microsoft's Vista. It seems the users are more sophisticated. I agree
with
the hope that this site continues. Before retirement I was signed in
under
a
different name (corporate) starting with OSs 95/98 and stayed until
2002
so I
recognize a lot of the "graybeards" , and their female counterparts.
Also
like the international flavor.

Yeah, of all the groups I visited to far, this is the best one yet and
hope
we can keep it alive.
Just got over what I thought was a major disaster with my Vista, but
in
the
end and with the help of Dell Support I was able to easily save the
day,
including my 'hard work' (about a month's worth). Without my ME Box it
would
have been much more complicated.
I thought ME was good to fix itself, but Vista is way ahead.
Where Avast is concerned, I was under the impression it interfered
with
SR,
yet obviously I was wrong, that is only in WinME, and AVG is just as
good.
Now I have both, except in a different galaxy.
Here's to a long and happy life....

Hi Harry - and HL (long time, no speak, or in HL speak - Good to
hear
your
face!). BTW - Whatever happened to Jack Martinelli? Sorry, I
digress.

Yes, I've got AVG (free) running without any problems on my Vista
and
XP
PC's. I only run full scans once a week which seem to have kept me
safe.

Regarding AVG 7.5xx (for Win9x), I read in the Win98 Group (Glen
Ventura,
aka glee) that the definition updates will cease at the end of
February.
What a shame, but as that being the case, I'll probably wait to see
what
effect the last update has - i.e., will it give me a permanent nag
screen? - or will I be able to live with it. Otherwise I will
probably
(attempt to) install Avast. Is Win9x still being targeted?

I've lived with AVG for as long as I can remember and it's never let
me
down. I'll be sorry to lose it.

Hey H,
I have put Avast! on three Vista machines with no problems
out
of
any of them. I think Avast! and AVG are very comparable.

Heirloom, old and either it is foggy outside or
my
eyes are going

Hello Mart (from Vista):

Remember you being an 'AVG' fan and me preferring 'Avast',
pertaining
to
'ME'?
Now that I am in WinVista I wound up installing AVG, after
removing
McAfee and it is performing nicely.

Harry.
