Does anyone know what spyware is compatible with windows vista? I went to Best Buy and bought a new laptop. The people there told me that macfee,aol,and norton are not compatible with it. Is that true? Or did I get ripped off?...by paying the GEEK SQUAD 150 to add their spyware protection to it.

The latest editions of Norton and McAfee are compatible with Vista as well as Spyware Doctor, Ad-Aware and most others.

Spybot Search & Destroy 1.4 is very good, and free. Way better than anything Norton or McAfee has. This has kept me spyware free very well. with regular updates & scans. This program , with Vista needs
Administrator rights, but that's no big deal.

attempt AVG the loose one . there's a pay one , bit greater useful, expenses £39 for 2 years yet as much as you .. No theory approximately regkit in any respect .. some anti spyware programmes placed a malicious program on your computing gadget so which you think of to procure issues and purchase their gadget to sparkling it ,, style of blackmail quite . Is yet another loose one observed as Avast

Aaaaaah the Geek Squad. Nope, they lied to you to get you to buy their product. I have norton installed on Vista, works fine.

I use Windows Defender and Avast. They are both free and are doing a great job.
