Hey Harry, was that you on the ZA forum on 5/16 saying the Vista beta
is s-l-o-w.
I was wondering if I should try it.
I am a long time za user and have prolly 8 months left on my ZA Pro
subscription.
I wish they could get it working.
However they are not the only one with vista probs.
Nvidia doesn't have a good driver for my $600 8800GTX.

BTW, sold my Luhrs 320T, currently boatless. Got grandkids now and no
time for a boat on the coast. I'm looking at trailer boats.
Indeed it was.
I was using ZA with my XP setup, and it worked well there. When I went to
VISTA, I thought I'd give the ZA Vista beta a good workout, but I was
offput by its slowness at boot up and the delays in opening programs, plus
the seemingly endless crashes of the beta (but not VISTA). So I tried a
few other suites this past week, including those from AVG, et cetera, and
right now am playing around with Kaspersky's suite. I'm using the 6.0
version that works with VISTA, not the "7" beta. So far it seems to be
working just fine. It's fast, the updates work well, and it has a
reasonable interface. There's a 30-day free trial.
I got an agreement out of ZA to extend my paid subscription by six months
or until six months after the release of the ZA retail for VISTA. When the
retail version comes out, I'll look it over.
Does these other suites include a firewall which also:
****CONTROLS OUTBOUND ACTIVITY*****???
Ahh. Yes, both the ZA beta and the Kaspersky release version do. For
some strange reason, the firewall MS packed in with VISTA does not.
Weird, eh?
