Can't use NOD32 because I would have to buy 2 copies. 1 for 98 and 1 for 2000 (checked Wilder's). Norton, I don't trust -used to have it and an update took out my art tablet and sound card. McAfee does say that you must have IE installed (they are tied to a DLL) So do a couple of the others. Panda, - can't get any info from the site, RAV, no info, F-prot sales did promise a reply(haven't got it, yet), Sophos, no info. Looked at Bitdefender, no system requirements and no sales department to contact unless you downloaded it. Haven't tried the online - prefer a resident. I have problems with some sites because I use Opera. Canned Netscape and IE is disabled. I feel it has saved me more aggravation than the workarounds. I won't reinstall IE as I think it's malware in itself, even if you have it set to the highest security.
I guess what I want is some kind of input from those that have used the various AV and the pros and cons
Thanks
