I haven't spent a penny on AV software, even though I still run Windows on 11 computers - thanks to my non cross-platform medical software. My Winconnect XP server and XP workstations receive real time AV protection from AVG free edition, from: http://free.grisoft.com/doc/avg-anti-virus-free/lng/us/tpl/v5 (My "extended" trial of this has found that it works flawlessly, and I am getting around to upgrading and paying for the commercial version!) For added surveillance, I run ClamWin (free, open source). This does not provide real time AV protection, but is scheduled to run periodically overnight (weekly): http://www.clamwin.com For further protection from spyware and malware, I run periodically overnight (weekly) Spybot - Search & Destroy, free from: http://www.safer-networking.org/en/index.html .. and Ad-Aware, free from: http://www.lavasoftusa.com/software/adaware The above are all very easily point-and-click downloads and installs. Furthermore, theyy automatically update signatures according to our optional preferences, and can be scheduled to run automatically overnight as desired. Finally, my little e-smith email server runs ClamAV (free, open source, automagic daily updates) which cleanses incoming (and outgoing) email. I've saved my bikkies :-) John Mac _______________________________________________ Gpcg_talk mailing list [email protected] http://ozdocit.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/gpcg_talk
