i know this has nothing to do with model trains but i have bought the latest pc with so much memory etc etc and it comes with windows vista and i have tried loading mcafee anti virus on (which states vista compatible), it loaded up ok but the pc kept crashing on me.
windows vista has some how blocked it ? (vista wont even allow certain games to load up either)
i dont want to keep wasting money on anti virus things that will not load or work on vista.
Now, does anyone here have a super duper pc with windows vista and have norton, mcafee or any anti virus software installed and if so, which one please ? pc world said they wont sell mcafee to vista users becaue of this problem.
the last thing i want to do is get viruses etc etc and i DO NOT TRUST bloody windows so called security !!!!!!
any help please as i would be so grateful.
thank you gang
P.S mcafee is probably the best one to stop hackers,trojans,viruses etc etc !

With all due respect everytime (on any type of forum) the subject of hacking/virus's come up someone will praise the MAC or Linux. Yes, MAC/Linux may very well be better than windows but just remember ;
1) One of the reasons that MAC/Linux is less suseptable to attacks is that there are less vunerable users about - if everyone used MAC's/Linux the hackers & lowlifes would target them & then we would all still have the same problem.
2) Not all software is available in non-windows format - virtually none of our specialist stuff is.
3) There are not that many MAC/Linux experts about.
