-=PCTechTalk=- Trend Micro Internet Security

Mike,
I just dumped NSW my self to install TIS.  Have
you had any complications? 
Specifically, a severe slow down.

PcScnSrv.exe and PcCtlCom.exe are the major
culprits on my desktop.  No such 
problems on my two laptops.

TM appears to blame Spybot S&D but I don't have
that installed.

Also, you might still have some Norton installed
including a lot of useless 
registry entries.

If you have not checked device drivers yet go to
Device manager and click 
view and show hidden devices.  Scroll down to
non-Plug and play devices. 
Look for anything that has "sym" or other common
Symantec/Norton abbrev. in 
the name.

You will likely find at least one item there
unless you've already been 
there and uninstalled it.  (symlcbrd is one, you
may find others.)  Even 
nortons uninstall utility does not remove it or
the registry entries 
mentioned above.

Hi Don,
I did not run the Trend PcCillin Internet Security
 on this computer it was run on 2 of my Vista RC2 
test machines before Vista became final.

It or Vista RC had a 'killbit' in it so it would no longer 
work on the Vista Beta builds.

So far none of the Internet Security Suites will run 
on Vista Beta.

My suspicion is that MS changes something during 
the updates to make it identify all the ISSuites as
incompatible with the Beta versions.

I was able to install the free
Avira AntiVir PersonalEdition Classic 
http://www.free-av.com/

Even though I did experience several "this program 
is not compatible with this build of Vista" messages.

Now to find a firewall<G> I don't trust the Microsoft

one as it assumes that any program you have 
down loaded or installed should be allowed to phone 
home, or report to wherever.
*This is what spyware/malware/virus, does.

I'm still waiting to get a new computer, like I really 
need another to join the 5 I currently have in use.

I was in Costco today and the 60" screen kept calling
my name.
Perhaps a Vista Premium laptop with that screen would
cure the itch<VBG>

Cheers
