Don't install the eTrust AV for Vista, it crashes Vista. -- -- Andre Windows Connected | http://www.windowsconnected.com Extended64 | http://www.extended64.com Blog | http://www.extended64.com/blogs/andre http://spaces.msn.com/members/adacosta

Running OK here, after a couple of reboots. I did have a couple of freezes when I opened Windows Mail, but those seem to have disappeared also.

I ended up rolling back my system to get rid of it (antivirus). My system became very unstable after about 24 hours - to the point of being unusable.

I am wondering whether this is a x86 vs x64 thing accounting for the differences in reported experience.

I've installed it on beta 2 x64 and intially it worked fine, but after a couple of reboots the real time protect mode stopped working.
Not seeing any stability issues though.

*Zero* problems here since last Thursday; I'm using it as my day-to-day system.
Am on Beta2 x86 is gobs of RAM and HDD space; the only tweaks were: -- Paging (removed the automatic config; manually set to the recommended level) -- eTrust ezAntiVirus (disabled the Email scanning non-sense)
I advise others do similar (stabilize system paging) as that usually causes additional CPU clock cycles and added HDD activity for zero performance benefit.

Maybe you've just got a crap computer or a bad installation?

X86? X64? Using the latest version downloaded from: http://www.my-etrust.com/Microsoft/vista/ ???

No problema aqui. Had to log into Safe Mode with Networking as Administrator to get it installed though.
