Installed 2 systems - no problems. As usual, a small number of users have problems with OS maintenance and compatibility with combos of software products.

I do not believe that this should be a "usual" problem for people. I've already had to deal with this myself this morning. Not fun. In some cases, it was resolved with a patched driver for audio...

In any case, I doubt this would've been "news worthy" if it weren't truly causing so much trouble.

I also had no problem with the patch, and am an AVG user. Although I pay for the professional version.

Normally I'd say that because of the amount of configurations that are out there a few problems are unavoidable. However, I think this was the patch for the animated cursor issue. How is it possible to dork things like Autocad or antivirus software when patching this type of function? Sloppy.

On the 18th of April you will have the choice of using Avira on your Vista machines instead if you want it. Also free at www.freeav.com

On XP, I always use it and never have problems. It is also easy on the resources as it's only an antivirus and nothing else added. Windows firewall is just fine for me.
