A Vista edition of Trend's PC-cillin anti-virus program is immediately available for download. By Gregg Keizer TechWeb.com May 31, 2006 01:26 PM Security vendor Trend Micro on Wednesday followed the lead last week of a rival to launch a free Windows Vista version of its anti-virus software to protect users as they try out the new operating system. A Vista edition of Trend's PC-cillin anti-virus program is immediately available for download from the Tokyo-based company's own Web site, https://www.trendbeta.com/index.php?get=80 and via a link on Microsoft's "Security at Home" site. http://www.microsoft.com/athome/security/viruses/wsc/en-us/windowsvistabeta2.mspx The free trial of PC-cillin 14.55 for Vista is valid through October 31, said Trend. However, Microsoft won't be releasing Vista until November at the earliest; recent clues seem to point toward an even later roll-out. http://www.techweb.com/wire/software/188102584 Microsoft just debuted Windows Vista Beta 2 at its WinHEC conference, but has yet to open the test edition to the general public. It has said, however, that it will do so "in the coming weeks." http://www.techweb.com/showArticle.jhtml?articleID=188101570 Trend Micro isn't the first anti-virus company to link to Vista. Last Wednesday, Computer Associates provided its Vista-ready eTrust EZ Antivirus product in a free, 12-month trial. The program can be downloaded from here. http://www.my-etrust.com/Microsoft/vista/default.aspx -- Regards, John Durham <http://modecideas.com/contact.html?sig> ICQ number 112663246 Fax/Phone 64 4 5286786 Award winning web site at http://modecideas.com?sig PC-HELPERS list subscribe/unsub at http://modecideas.com/index.html?sig Good advice is like good paint- it only works if applied. -- -------list-services-below----------- Regards, John Durham (list moderator) <http://modecideas.com/contact.html?sig> Freelists login at http://www.freelists.org/cgi-bin/lsg2.cgi List archives at http://www.freelists.org/archives/pchelpers PC-HELPERS list subscribe/unsub at http://modecideas.com/discuss.htm?sig Latest news live feeds at http://modecideas.com/indexhomenews.htm?sig Good advice is like good paint- it only works if applied.
