    I am trying to find a good choice for my elderly father who doesn't want to use AVG. Is there a simple freeware downloadable app that will work on both Vista and XP?

    Avast for Antivirus, works great imho in both Vista and XP


    Windows Defender is ok for antispyware in Vista, but could also use Comodo BOClean for this area of protection.
