[SGVLUG] way off topic - need a m$ antivirus recommendation

[Jason Riker]

Robert,

I've had good luck with NOD32 and McAfee.  However, if you buy McAfee just
buy the Anti-virus not the other crap (if you need free AVG is a good
choice).  Use WindowsXP's default firewall.  Then use Windows Defender +
Ad-aware (or Spybot Search and Destroy) for malware/spyware.  Lastly, use
Google or Microsoft's toolbar for pop-up blocking.

I've used that combo at home and have yet to have trouble.

Good luck.

Jason

Way off topic - I need some m$ antivirus software recommendations.

Wife running M$ XP on an AMD X2 system.

Very disappointed with Norton2005, as it keeps going to 100% and basically
freezing her system.

Any suggestions? As my home's geek, I feel responsible for keeping her
system as happy as possible. It seems my constantly pointing out how good
the Penguin is... doesn't seem to help (heh).
