Try Win`98! Most viruses and trojans are
programmed to work properly under XP  _________________ Ordem e Progresso |

I'm thinking of putting Solaris on a partition to see how good (and user friendly) it is. Should cut down on the need for the latest virus definitions  _________________ My graphics card database can be found at http://www.gpuzoo.com.

Format c:
Radical but effective
Norton and Caspersky are a little resource hungry (if you have 2 gigs of ram you can forget about that). Average.
Avg, Nod32, Avira are good and provide a free version, but you miss a lot of other features that you'll have to provide yourself (antispam, firewall, adblocker and in the like).
I have Mcafee on a vista machine, I would have had a gun at my hand's reach after using it... really bad. Heavy, lots of stuff, but way too heavy.
I really want SP1 soon. |

for commercial usage : Kaspersky is definitely best, for home (free) I use Avast  _________________ Visit ABC CPU - Virtual CPU Museum. |

Bitdefender (latest version) is competing with Kaspersky, and cost less. _________________ "640 cores should be enough for anybody" - evermore xD |

Thanks to your suggestion I am using AVG free now. I installed it on two of my machine one of which is off internet so I can not keep it up to date.
I am attempting to download some files to upgrade it but I am pretty confused that I dont know which file should be to download at:
