"Excellent Software for Windows Vista"
Pros: Have Windows Vista, SP2, no problems. Easy to install and use. Does not hog resources like Norton. Used Kaspersky and could not use Itunes because it stated that Quicktime had a virus, even though I just updated. Norton hogs resources.
Cons: None. Product is excellent
