#NORTON ANTIVIRUS FOR MAC UNSCUBSCRIBE BEFORE END OF TRIAL PERIOD INSTALL#
I read somewhere on McAfee’s site that it’s possible to install some edition of that company’s software on Vista, but the installation kept failing on the laptop.

I would end up using one of the paid products on the main Vista PC and a free product on the laptop. Not as full-featured, but it’s free of charge. I’m running Panda Dome Free on another test system, also with positive impressions. This is not a free program (I’m using their 30-day free trial), but first impressions are positive. It installed KB3000483 (I don’t remember if I had it hidden or what).Īpparently it uses the Bit Defender engine, so virus detection would be expected to be good. I tried the tool to “Download Latest Hotfix (Microsoft Windows OS)” and it proceeded to search for and install available updates. It has a firewall that the user can set to be “interactive” (meaning that it tells you that a program is trying to access the Internet and then asks you if you want to allow or block it). I’m trying out the eScan Internet Security Suite on a test Vista system.

My hope is that this list will be helpful to the hardy band of remaining Vista users out there as their own current AV solutions jump ship. I’m not looking to put those kinds on this list, but rather primary AV applications akin to Norton and the three listed above. Note that there are other categories of software that help to protect computers but are not considered “antivirus”, such as “anti-malware” programs like MBAM and “anti-exploit” programs like EMET or HitmanPro.Alert. So please, no “Mickey Mouse Internet Security” that stops 40% of attacks: I’d like for us to build a list of quality software. I would ask that any additions to the list be for programs that (a) are from known companies and (b) have a good track record for protecting PCs.

If you have verified other antivirus programs where either the current version still works on Vista, or whose last version that installs on Vista is still receiving regular virus definition updates, then please add them to this list. Avast advertises a (probably older) version of their Free Antivirus suite for Vista.All the varieties of eScan are stated on their Knowledge Base as working on Vista.Panda Dome works on Vista it’s running on my Vista laptop without issue.Norton’s announcement that they will stop issuing virus definition updates for Windows Vista systems sometime early in 2021, prompted me to search for alternative AV software that’s both known and reputable and which still works on that OS.
