I highly suggest:

AVG Free
Spyware Terminator
Windows Defender (included on vista)
Windows Firewall (included on vista)

Take a look at my Featured Downloads


Also, try reinstalling AVG. If it still does not work, please post back.

I use Avast antivirus (free for home users) on my Vista pc, the real-time protection works well. I also use the Avast screensaver for a virus scanner whenever I'm not at my computer.

AVG 8.0 is around the corner and it's suppose to be rock solid.

I use Avast on the Vista (x64) side of this machine too & it works great -- no issues.

I'm running AVG 7.5 with firewall and it works fine although scanning incoming and outgoing email and certifying it took some special adjustments.
