Hi Crazyman,

I have never tried it or heard of it, sorry. HERE (http://www.grisoft.com/html/us_index.html) is a link to another free av that I have heard good things about. I have not tried it either, but plan to soon. I have Nortons and its a pain in the ass (always locks up).

I've used AVG, it works OK, except sometimes the updates abort, or take for fr****** ever....but it's free!:D
I'm not cheap, I'm thrifty...

Well, that's what I'm currently running. I like it better than what I had, but I can't say anything for how good it is at virus catching. Never EVER had a virus on ANY system, so I've never got to see any AV program freak out when it finds one.

Only problem I have with it is that it will either
a) Scan daily at a specified time.
-- OR --
b) Never scan automaticly.
