Will Norton 07 run without any problems on Vista Ultimate 64-bit? I know Vista has some serious security issues. Just wondering...Thanks for viewing.

Vista doesn't have any particular security issues. I have Vista Ultimate x86 and only ever get tracking cookies, and I'm using the built in firewall.
You'd be a lot better off without Norton, even if they do make a 64 bit version (which you will need for a 64 bit OS) These are good programs, and all free: Anti virus: AVG or Avast - use only ONE Anti-spyware: Spybot S&D and Ad-aware - use both Firewall: Kerio, Comodo or ZoneAlarm - use only ONE There are multiple version of Zone Alarm, one of which is the free, firewall only version. However there may or may not be 64 bit versions of each of these, I'm not sure. |

I know people say that Vista seems to be a little too protective. Not sure if this is true. Thanks for your help.

People say a lot of rubbish about Vista and Microsoft in general, mainly because they think it's cool.
Don't believe the hype. |

Like I say, I've never had any real security problems with Vista.
Norton is terrible at keeping out infections, then once it has let them in, it either doesn't find them, or even if it does it can't get rid of them. |

Agreed, i'd be way more concerned with running Norton than Vista.
