I used PC-Cillin until recently, when it became evident that it failed to
pick up the email attachments that were clearly infected during the
recent spate we've had.
I did an on-line scan at
www.pandasoftware.com and this managed to detect
an infection on my second HD that I wasn't even aware I had. I was so
impressed I bought the product.
