Free AV for Vista beta testers

If you’re experimenting with Windows Vista Beta 2, you’ve probably already noticed that many antivirus programs are incompatible. Computer Associates has just announced that it’s offering a free one-year subscription to eTrust EZ AntiVirus for Vista beta testers. I’ve installed it here and it appears to be working just fine.

I tried posting this entry using the new Publish to Blog feature in Word 2007. No luck. It’s able to communicate with the WordPress back end, but the posts just go off into the ether, never to be seen again. Bummer.

Update: Trend Micro has a free Vista-compatible beta version of its PC-Cillin software, too.

  1. Ed,

    I thought I might’ve been the only one with the Word Blog problem. No dice here and I’m using WordPress 2.0.2…

    At least I know it wasn’t something I was doing wrong!

  2. Using MSN Spaces I was able to post from Word 2007 just fine–should help a bunch with my poor spelling.

  3. You guys and gals looking for a blog publisher, I know the point is that your way does not work within word 2007, but have you considered looking at Microsofts new blogging program – Windows Live Writer. Its a free download (in beta) and works as a wysiwyg publishing tool. It will post to any blog service.

  4. HI Ed, my apologies for not reading deeper into your site. However I have just now seen your bit about Blogjet and I think I will give it a go. Something about free software which makes me always looking for the next best thing 🙂
