Ok That is close to what I was after.. Thanks for that Honest evaluation

To be fair it is a rare AV that won't interfere in some way with Games (here I am talking UT2003 WCIII etc)..

When installing progs on my production machines.. I run a registry snapshot/Compare prog, as well as a System File snapshot and compare, this helps with the cleanup.. certainly when some prog removals cause damage that Sys-restore wont fix..

As with many things Speed, reliability, compatability, effectiveness all suffer some trade-offs. And With AV progs it is normaly Effectiveness and compatability or Reliability and Effectiveness that we notice more than any other..

thanks Chuck56
