It can never update its virus definitions and always just says there has been an error. When I try to update them manually (which I have to since they have been last updated 3 months ago... whoops!) it takes me a few tries before they finally install.<br />
It's also very slow. Takes about 4-5 hours to scan my mac and I have a paultry 60gig iBook G4.</p>Scott Gagon commented on 'Microsoft Forefront Security Software hits public beta'tag:typepad.com,2003:6a00d8345325d569e200d834c5c1fe53ef2006-11-14T19:36:04Z2007-08-19T09:03:24ZScott GagonI'm a big fan of Avast! for home use.

Also Avast! throws in some basic firewall protections without being as intrusive as ZoneAlarm or even the built-in Windows Firewall. I haven't looked to see if it supports Vista yet as I don't even plan on looking at Vista till it's been out for a few months (my general rule is to wait for the first Service Pack).</p>Kevin commented on 'Microsoft Forefront Security Software hits public beta'tag:typepad.com,2003:6a00d8345325d569e200d834c5bdce53ef2006-11-14T18:50:13Z2007-08-19T09:41:19ZKevinCheck out Intego VirusBarrier http://www.intego.com/virusbarrier.
