Vista and AVG free
Cannot load a copy of AVG Free into a new Vista computer. It says it is not compatible and not running on 32 bits or something.
I hate to have to pay (shock horror) for virus protection.
Does anyone have a workaround or a suggestion of a suitable alternative (even if I have to pay?)

I can assure you that AVG works absolutely fine with Vista. Not sure about the latest version 8.0
I've been running it (v 7.5) from day one of a new Vista laptop as of last year.

IIRC before I binned Vista in favour of XP Avast worked fine and has a free version, link below;

Managed to get Avast, but it was not free (initially free but chargeable after 60 days). Persevered with AVG and after six attempts it loaded and is now running. Thanks for all the help.
Mistrust in Management
When I tried to load AVG free on 64 bit vista ultimate some months ago it would not load.
I've now loaded 32 bit Vista ultimate and AVG free loads without any issue.
