If you're like the average person, if I asked you what choices you had in the realm of anti-virus software, you'd likely only be able to name 2, maybe 3 titles - McAfee and Norton (Symantec) probably being amongst them.Well, I saw a really cool thing in Microsoft's latest security newsletter. They opened the playing field by listing a lot of other anti-virus players in the industry. I haven't had a chance to check yet, but I'll bet you a few of them offer a free version................ and that's a good thing. The list even opened my eyes, as I had only ever heard of (besides the 2 previously mentioned) Grisoft's AVG; Panda; CA's eTrust; F-Secure; Kaspersky; Sophos; Alwil's Avast! and Trend Micro's PC-cillin.
P.S.: the picture indicates my anti-virus of choice............... OH!......... and it has a free version......

I second your choice of AVG. I've been using it for quite a long time now. It does the job quite nicely, and the updates are frequent.
It's good stuff!
When I first installed it, I was pleased to find that XP's Security Center was happy with it and indicated that virus protection was recognized and being monitored.
I'm only a Microsoft "fan" out of necessity, but if they give it a thumbs up, then that says something!
