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.

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

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.

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

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

Out here on the front range of Colorado have seen a pretty mild
winter. Gotta have some snow and -0 cold days here to have a winter
though. Spring is always sooner than it seems it will be. So I am
getting ready.
