    Try Avast 4.7 professional. It's small, fast, inexpensive, and is already tested with Vista 64. I dumped my norton last year and have no plans on going back ;-)

    It's a rare occurance when both sides of a dispute have completely valid arguments. Microsoft not only has the right, but an obligation to protect it's customers from attacks in the most effective way it can. Conversly security vendors require the flexibility to stay ahead of ever evolving threats. Especialy with the increasing prevelance of zero Day exploits. The real problem is that there is an argument at all. The security companies are in the business of protecting Microsofts consumers and should be treated as partners not competitors. What's next ... GM telling airbag manufacturers that they must install their products outside the car because GM already provide seat belts? All of the companies involved need to realize they are on the same team, fighting the same battles, or the only possible winner will be the hackers.
