is there virus vista

anyone knows if there is a virus for vista?

Windows Vista is still capable of running most Windows XP viruses.
But, due to the new default security settings, it is more difficult to 1) get infected and 2) for the virus to do system-level damage. However, these settings won't stop a virus for getting on your system if you give it explicit permission to run from the security window.
Virus protection is still strongly recommended :)
Also, I haven't heard of a virus targeting SPECIFICALLY Windows Vista. I doubt many will until Vista is being used by almost everyone, like Windows XP is now.

...and here's a good anti-virus/firewall suite for Vista: https://www.trendbeta.com/index.php?get=80

I have used Trend for a couple of years until I got an ISDN Router...Trend did not agree with this router so I had to use a different ant-virus program....Has anyone else had isuues like this?...Remembering that the Router has it's own firewall...Can this problem be solved?...

As far as your router is concerned, I'm not sure. I've always been one to not like AV/Firewall combo apps. I use NOD32 AV and a hardware firewall. Never had a problem with NOD32 interfering with anything, ever, which is one of the reasons I like it. I haven't tried it with Vista yet, but I have a funny feeling it won't work, just due to the posts of others using other AV apps. I will try it later, after I get past the hurdles I'm having myself with Vista.

Thanks, for the info, I do agree with you that using combo apps is not always the best choice...

I'm not saying it doesn't WORK or anything to that effect...I simply would rather only have to find a single app if some part goes wrong...if the firewall sucks, I don't want to also have to look for a new antivirus app, etc.
