Workshop: Add anti-virus protection to Windows Vista

Although touted from the start as a new, more secure version of the world’s most widespread operating system, Windows Vista still has one serious omission ­ it doesn’t include an anti-virus program. That means it’s necessary either to buy one, or sign up to Microsoft’s own Live One Care service. In this Workshop we’ll explain how to find out what security software is already installed on a PC and how to add the extras that are missing; then we’ll demonstrate how to turn off any parts of Vista’s built-in protection that may conflict with a third party’s anti-virus program so that the PC is as secure as possible from malicious threats, scams and virus infections.
