Put in a Google search with search terms "Vista fails malware test".

Raise your hands if you are suprised.

All I have to say is: BFD !

If your referring to this

No surprise at all, I knew defender was junk when it was released, it never
performed well against other spy/malware apps.

I am surprised you trust tests carried out by a competitor.
This was discussed in here the other day. If anyone trusts test results
from a competitor then they are just a fool. Wait until you see independent
results.

And, If I'm not mistaken you have to PAY for this or some other MS
"security program"

You may wait until your Vista gets malware just using Defender. For myself
I use Avast! AV, Ad-Aware real-time registry notification and Spybot. Does
anyone know a firewall that Vista will accept??

I don't just use Defender. I also use spybot and avast. Windows Defender
has never meant to be a replacement for an antivirus.

All I am saying is who cares about the malware tests. I have my system
protected and they can "test till the cows come home", but it won't change
my views either way.

"Smart user !
I sent several "bugs" in on Defender, title was "Defender is not Defending";
I use the the same programs you use Marty,"they" haven't let me down to
date.

I use Kaspersky's Internet Security Suite, which is Vista ready. I
know Bitdefender, as well as Norton are also Vista ready. I'm sure
there are some others, but you need to poke around.

They haven't been breached as far as I know either. Basically my
OEM told me that all you really need is a good AV program - but he does
recommend Spybot as well. In a previous post I was talking about paying
for "One Care" rather than Defender. After testing One Care in a VMware box
(both Vista 32 and Vista64 are supported in VMware) "One Care" is a piece of
s..t

Personally, if you're geeky enough to be reading this, you don't need
any anti-spyware software. A good firewall and anti virus program is
all that's necessary.

But if you insist....

http://www.trendmicro.com/en/product...e/overview.htm

Anti-Virus, Anti-Spyware, Firewall, Anti-Spam (for both the 32 &
64-bit versions of Vista).

Trend Micro has faired quite well with critics over the past few years
and Microsoft uses it's anti-virus software for Hotmail (go figure).
