There is alot of discussion out there on which Antivirus works best with current builds of Windows Vista. I deciced to give the brand new　Windows Live Safety Center a whirl with Windows Vista Build 5231.

After running a few circles in Internet Explorer 7's new security features, I was able to launch the ActiveX controls to run the scanning of my Vista PC.

It appears I'm running Safe and Secure! Awesome. Now, after running through this, I really hope Microsoft makes it easier for users to use this awesome Web Service in Internet Explorer 7 (of course they will!) because I found the process to get the scanning to run too complicated which could turn users off from using it. Of course I know I'm playing with multiple layers of Beta software here. Overall, its quite exciting to see these types of services available to the average Home user.
