Dave Catalani Posted October 4, 2008 at 03:56 PM Posted October 4, 2008 at 03:56 PM (edited) I have searched thouroughly and think this is a correct statement. Please advise in laymens terms, anyone, as I have been dazed and confused. New computer with vista 32 and McAfee. I can connect okay, but have that problem that alot of Vista users have apparently...seeing no traffic. I have read that I need to uninstall McAfee totally? Is this the only solution? What to do with Windows firewall and defender....turn on/leave off??...is that as good/better than McAfee? I see alot of posts that mention other firewall/anti-virus packages that do not interfere with SB, but was wanting to know if there is a way to configure current system and still be protected from the outside world? I am starting to dread ever making the change to Vista...... Anyone use Windows Onecare for firewall and anti-virus?

Norman Blackburn Posted October 4, 2008 at 04:30 PM Posted October 4, 2008 at 04:30 PM I use SB4 on Vista64 and FSX without issue. I use AVG 7.5 for my antivirus with the built in firewall. Norman Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Catalani Posted October 5, 2008 at 02:49 AM Author Posted October 5, 2008 at 02:49 AM I have checked AVG website. Looks like version 8.0 has 3 options ranging from 34.99 to 54.99. The top end has Anti-Virus, Anti-Spyware, Anti-Spam, Web Protection & Firewall. Lower end has Ani-Virus ans Anit-Spyware. Middle has lower end but includes firewall. Will I be OK with the lower end AVG and use Windows Firewall that came with Vista? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Norman Blackburn Posted October 5, 2008 at 07:26 AM Posted October 5, 2008 at 07:26 AM Version 8 is starting to become bloatware, IMO. Google for the free AVG 7.5 antivirus. It may take a couple of pages but you will find a download link that doesnt redirect to version 8. Norman Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
