| I've decided to get rid of Norton Anti Virus and try another virus killer.
I'm thinking of AVG, Avast or Nod32. Which one does anyone think is the
best overall? I'd like something good at detecting and eliminating and that
also doesn't put too much strain on the system. Cheers.

I've used AVG and Avast! I have no experience with Nod32, so I cannot
comment on it. I am currently using Avast! and have been for over a year.
It has successfully caught and eliminated the few virus laden emails that
have come my way. I've had no issues with it to date. I was an avowed
Kaspersky user but tight finances made me switch to a freeware solution. I
have not regretted the decision and recommend the program. I found AVG too
unwieldy. Avast! was very similar to Kaspersky in that I could set it and
forget it. |

How does one obtain the free version of e-Trust. I use Road Runner
but never knew anything about it.
