I like AVG it seams to offer good protection and has regular updates. AVG updates itself constantly - every time You switch the computer on. I've been using it for two years, and so far not one virus has got past it. It monitors for virus activity constantly , and also scans emails for viruses The only minus point is that the full system check does slow the computer down for about 20 mins, but I bet the expensive anti-virus packages do the same. Frankly, it's worth being patient with it for peace of mind. i would rate it as follows out of 10Value 10performance 9ease of use 10speed 7Highly recommended .

I find it useful to have different users to difererent tasks ie Games , Internet, office etc and only have services that you need. disable anti-virus if playing only games for example (notonline games)

i like SUSE linux but cannot get internet access. i can get google.com but other websites including updates will not connect maybe my USRobotics modem/router is only disigned for Windows. any ideas?

I have tried Suse linux 10 which i find very usefull , but internet access is hit and miss. Maybe it is because i have a us robotics ADSL ROUTER/MODEM which only has windows drivers? i have an AMD dual core processor 64 bit. 1024mb ram
