Re: best free av and spyware

Hey MaHaBone, does AOL's "Active Virus Shield" actually work for you on
Vista? Every time I try to install it, I get a horrible fatal error/"blue
screen of death", and I have to restart in safe mode and uninstall Active
Shield. I've narrowed the problem down... and it is definitely Active Virus
Shield. So I assumed it was not yet compatable with Vista.

But... it sounds like you got it to work with your Vista?? No problems at
all?
