Well sorry to say but assumption is the worst thing you can do. Check the website for compatibility. Dont worry i already have. It is Vista compatible.

It appears avg has changed the software since i last downloaded it. Automatic updates and protection are no longer an option for their free anti spyware program. It is however compatible with vistsa and vista 64.

I would use windows defender it t wasn't the same as leaving my computer wide open to attack. I have not decided what i am going to do about my spyware protection yet. I used to use manual protection maybe I'll just stick to that.
