CA has a freebie beta of theirs at
http://www.my-etrust.com/Microsoft/vista/default.aspx

I think McAfee has a beta too. I'm sure other folks will tell you about
others.

Avast! works with Vista (the only bit which doesn't work is the report in
Security center but just say monitor my own) I have had no problems with
updating and using with Outlook.

The last patch from WU was meant to have resolved the AVG issue although I
have the Pro version of this I chose to install a specific Vista one as AVG
would not provide support.

EZTrust is also free for 1yr although I read about too many problems which
is why I went with Avast. HTH

I am running free AVG and it appears to be working for me. What errors are
you receiving?

The latest update from Windows Update is supposed to have fixed that. Try
again.

Click on Windows Security Center, Click on the down arrows for Malware. I
clicked the Partners link under anti-virus and found Trend Micro PC-cillin
Internet Security 14 (PCC14.55EN_VistaBeta2_02). It's been working and
updatable.

In Windows Security Center click on Malware down arrow. Click on the Partners
link under anti-virus. I found Trend Micro's PC-cillin Internet Security 14
(PCC14.55EN_VistaBeta2_02). It's been working and has already updated.

Follow the Partners link for anti-virus under the Malware section of Windows
Security Center.
