    It's a java issue and not anti-virus. You need java to run limewire and also if you use Opera browser. There are still some issues with java and Vista. They (Sun) did have a Vista Beta version that I couldn't get to work so i use the XP version.

    29 is a good price and you can use it for 3 'puters. I think I have used AVG for a few years because at one time Norton turned into this HUGE system eating menace that slowed down everyones 'puters. I have a 90 day trial on my Norton, it seems to be Ok..... :)

    I use the Lavasoft Ad Aware for 5 years...I think I am going to buy it one day, I have respect for that product. :)
