Guest Ed Posted June 23, 2008 Posted June 23, 2008 We are running an old CA program for our antivirus here at school. It is called inoculateIT. It has performed well for us, so we've never upgraded to their newer offerings. To install it, you use a remote install program located on the domain controller. I just bought the first Vista computer to try out here and upon trying to install this program, it cannot find the path. When this happened with XP, it was because the Windows firewall was turned on. I have turned it off in Vista and disabled the firewall service, but still get the same message. It shows up in the list of computers in the remote install program's browser just like it does in the active directory list. I just believe it has something to do with the security in Vista that is blocking it. Quote
Guest Mick Murphy Posted June 23, 2008 Posted June 23, 2008 Check at CA's site to see if that Program is compatible with Vista. I doubt it it would be. Anti-virus companies have had to write new programs that are Vista compatible. -- Mick Murphy - Qld - Australia "Ed" wrote: <span style="color:blue"> > We are running an old CA program for our antivirus here at school.

Guest Ed Posted June 23, 2008 Posted June 23, 2008 Thanks Mick, That's what I was afraid of. They came out with a patch for Win2k and XP, but I don't think they support that program anymore.

Guest Mick Murphy Posted June 24, 2008 Posted June 24, 2008 A lot of anti-viruses have probs with Vista. The latest AVG 8.0(replaces 7.5, neither of which I use!), requires you to install a Hotfix patch while you are installing it; otherwise your computer will slow down, and you will he unable to connect to the Internet!! That IS the warning you get while you are installing AVG 8! You have to cancel installation, get the hotifix from MS, recommence installing AVG!! Nothing is simple anymore! -- Mick Murphy - Qld - Australia "Ed" wrote: <span style="color:blue"> > Thanks Mick, > That's what I was afraid of.
