Quote:We have used one of the free antivirus programs for a while, but I think that we'd like to get something that's a little bit tougher, since I've heard that "you get what you pay for" regarding actual anti-virus capability.
AVG is one of those free ones, but it's pretty slick. It's by far the least obtrusive antivirus software I have used.

Does your ISP offer anything in the way of antivirus software? Mine offers Norton AntiVirus and Norton Personal Firewall free for customers. I've never used them, but I hear they work fairly well. *edit: Roland disagrees and he probably knows more about Norton than I do
To be quite honest, I don't even have an antiviral software package installed on my computer anymore. I just don't see the need. In all the years I've had a computer connected to the internet, I've never had a virus. I get the odd malware from time to time, but those are easy to clean up. If I ever get nervous about viruses, I just download multiple free or trial versions of antiviral software and visit Trend Micro's Housecall for an online scan.
