I've been using Avast for years for Win98, XP and now Vista. Never had a
problem with it nor have I had any viruses (that I knew of at least).

Avast. Choose custom when you run the installer and uncheck scan email.

I used Avast for several years. Once I tried Windows OneCare
and noticed a vast improvement in overall system performance,
and absolutely no malware infections, I was sold in the high
quality of the product.

AVG Free works great on Vista. http://free.grisoft.com/
By default is does insert some advertsing in outgoing Email, but that=20
can easily be turned of in the settings.

Mark...just a question because I don't know...why uncheck scan email. If an
email with a virus or an attachment with a virus were to be sent, at what
point does the AV SW scan and find it if not when you receive the email???
I heard some folks say it is redundent...how so??

Because the email scan is redundant, Avast is already scanning everything.
