msfeedsync

On Vista x64 I've noticed that the msfeedsync program crashes all the time, so I decided to search on Google and see if anyone else had come across it. I only found one reference, which suggests that NOD32 (the anti virus software I decided to try, as I didn't want to try Trend and I thought I'd keep away from Symantec and Sophos for a bit) is at fault. It said it's not compatible with Windows Vista RC2 and causes the MSFEEDSYNC process to crash with a DEP error. Which appears to be what I'm getting.
The author added: I will try using it with the Pre RTM Build (5840) and see if the problem persists. But so far there's been no reply. I think I may try Sophos, as it's meant to work with Vista x64 (despite their complaints against Microsoft), and a free trial version is available.

Robert - Saturday 9th December, 2006 00:59 Sophos has been installed, msfeedsync appears to be working fine now. I'll see what happens over the next 30 days of this evaluation. I decided to do a full system scan, it picked up a few things, a couple were harmless applications that could potentially be unwanted, a couple were meant to contain trojans (old setup files for things I never installed, and had kept in old archive folders over the years, and had recently moved across from my old disk).
