    Yep. I tried Avast. Didn't much like it. So went back to AVG. The program has run very well over the last few years on my different pcs. This pc used to have symantec until I found it slow, unreliable, and expensive. Expensive didn't worry me so much, until the other problems showed themselves.

    Occasionally I get a virus these days, though most worried by IM viruses and payloads rather than email.

    I also use them and it seems pretty good. The only problem is that they are a bit confusing but once you get the hand of it it's quite good. ;)

    Wow!

    Never thought I'd start such a discussion.

    I use Zonealarm as well; also was using AVG think I will go back. Anyone have a good free spyware?

    Thanks!

    I used it for some time but now it's not free anymore so I had to opt for something else. It is a great antivirus tool but unfortunately not free.
