Not free, but a good one

UD, I have been using Trend Micro one of the few recommended/partnered by Microsoft. Seems to do the job.

In addition, I use Microsoft's firewall and automatic updates. You would need to turn off the firewall in the virus protection of your choice. Operating 2 at the same time can cause problems - so they say.

RE: "UD, I have been using Trend Micro one of the few recommended/partnered by Microsoft."

Thats a good point, Frank, and if you value the findings of Consumer Reports Mag any, the Sept2004 issue has their #1 and #2 antivirus software "quick picks" recommendations for "full-featured, easy-to-use" programs are Trend Micro PC-cillan 2004 ($50)followed by Norton AntiVirus 2004 9.0, also at $50.

AVG is great..and so are the E A G LE S

5-0 YES !!!!!!!!!!!!

AVG antivirus - free edition
Zone Alarm Firewall - free edition
Spyware Search & Destroy (free)
Ad-Aware - free edition

And remember to always update as frequently as possible.

I use Norton System Works and upgrade every two years and keep the antivirus subscription up all years. I use this so that I also have Norton Utilities which has saved my machine several times and which I use for just general tuneups at least once a week. I've also never been knocked out by any malware of any sort; no virus, no trojan, no worm, none of that sort of thing.

You've got mail .

This place is so helpful. Thanx guys!

I own Norton SystemWorks 2004 and just had to pay Symatec $24.95 for the annual renewal fee which includes NAV subscriptions for another year. I could have paid more ($39) to upgrade to SystemWorks 2005 but decided to save my $ and stay with System 2004 for another year. - Scott

Norton is junk compard to AVG, IMHO
