Antivirus

Trend Micro NeatSuite it is everything Norton is and cost less.

I am using AVG Anti-Virus and it is great! It is completely free for home users.

The maker (grisoft) used to have real slow servers (like 7-12 K a sec max), but they upgraded recentley, and the speed is nice. (so far i can get my max speed from my DSL line off it.)

They release updates fairly often and they had a patch for the "Goner" virus the day it came out. (Just like Mcafee or Norton.)

B4 I used AVG, i used McAfee and was pleased with it. I have heard horror stories about Norton software though, and two friends of mine had non-stop crashes after installing one of their products (Norton's) onto their systems.

I'm a Norton person, myself. I used to use McAfee, but it took at least twice the resources that Norton does now. As far as I can tell, it scans just as well as McAfee did. I also like its interface better.

Currently I'm using Total Virus Defence but I'm planning to change to Panda Antivirus since TVD is built on McAfee scan and it takes big amount of resources from the system.

Panda Antivirus have had a lots of bugs earlier but they have now rebuild the whole engine and it seems stable. A big plus for Panda Software are their support and disinfection tools. It's a dll scanner and it's faster and takes less resources then McAfee.

Trend Micro Pc-cillin 2000
I highly recommend this.
Has a real time scan that scans everything in the background and doesn't use any resources. It's only a 30 day trial but...

F-Secure Antivirus www.f-secure.com and one freeware
f-prot from same plase

I use panda software protection. they claim that most of the viruses originate in europe and by the time it reaches me and mine they have found it already. i like the update features and the muti-profiles i can implement on my computer. its high cost is a factor in its concideration, but i would tell anyone that it is one time, and has payed for itself already.

remember: its only print.

iam now with the norton antivirus 2002 and i just have one thing to say , is the same old ****

it never change, ohh the visual change but the rest its the same
