    i suspect you are refering for winduz.. but Sophos seem to do one for RH.. and there was another.. lost the link..

    For Win Xpee and for free, it would have to be AVG
    But sad to say if you want to pay.. the NAV and McAfee you will have to stay away..
    But Sophos from the above advice you may need to considder, along with Command

    Cheers

    Trend Micro's PC-Cillin works pretty well for me, I have it on a couple of boxes.

    Don't forget:

    http://housecall.trendmicro.com/hous...start_corp.asp

    Which is their free, online, on demand scanner. Very good for a second opinion.

    Also e-Trust eZArmour is free until the end of the year at least.

    Cheers

    I use AVG, but Sophos is new on me. Is there anything that makes Sophos the better of the two?
