That;'s what used to be F-Prot.   I haven't really investigated it,
but know I at least have something I'll take a look at it.

MB Sorry for what just accidentally went, prior to this, my intended

MB than immediate sending.

heheheh. Engage brain before pressing button ;-)

JR Hi malexander,

JR OT: AV - Thanks everyone:

m I tired it download NOD32 from the link they gave to me and after two
m hours their server still wasn't running. Couldn't even ping it. So, I
m went to Grisoft and downloaded the trial version of AVG. Got it
m running now - it was easy to set up and, to be honest, I have to
m check now and again to see the little icon in my SysTray because
m otherwise I wouldn't know it was there ;-)

JR  However, if security is the goal, I think there are many who
JR  would say that AVG leaves something to be desired while NOD32 
JR  PC-cillin are generally rated as the best while Norton sometimes
JR  conflicts with other programs  McAfee misses too much.

I think it depends, to some extent on who you read. I'd not seen
anything about NOD32 before it was mentioned here, and I've seen
reviews for PC-cillin which were less than impressive.  I do intend,
whoever, now that I have some protection, on checking out other
products as well.

Thanks :)

JR  Having said all that, I'm sure there will be disagreements but my
JR  feeling is better safe than sorry  each to their own.

Ideally, what I'd like to do is retire one of our computers and turn
it into a sheep dip where I can have 2 or 3 AV products running on
consecutively (easy to do with a script to load them in and out of
memory) so that everything gets checked multiple times. But that means
buying a new computer Which of course, would be newer, faster,
shinierI must go and see our bank manager... ;-)
