The other day when I installed SAV, live update ran & worked correctly.

Today, I downloaded a virus to see if SAV would recognize it (with 11-11-06 defs). It did not.

Ran live update.

Hung. Could not kill any SAV processes via Task Manager. (Access denied).

Reboot.

Open SAV, (UAC popup), Live Update, downloads defs, 99% updated, & hangs. I tell Vista to check for a solution. (Scroll, scroll, scroll - just a scrolling bar. Maybe that was the solution?) Again I'm left with a non-responsive "ghost" window that I cannot kill.

Reboot.

Try again. 99% update, & hang. Non-responsive.

Reboot.

Guess what I'm not about to do yet again!


(FWIW, KAV did flag the virus, F-Prot did not. Both with defs of 11-10-06).

(EDIT: Updating F-Prot with 11-13-06 defs, & it now also finds the virus).


Ok, you know me. A glutton for punishment.

So I disable Windows Defender - in case there is any conflict there.
(UAC popup, of course). Reboot.
Open SAV.
(UAC popup, of course).
Live Update.
Hang.

Hey, do you think AntiVir will run now under Vista RC2?
