Hi,
Anybody knows a descent free anti-virus that will work on NT?
I can't find on Grisoft's web site if the free version of AVG will work on
NT or not.

Thanks.

well, since it's free it shouldn't cost you anything to try...

i suspect it will work on nt based oses like win2k or xp... not sure

It's just that the person who owns that computer is almost an hour's drive
away. I wanted to come prepared with a couple of options. So far I have
AVG and Avast! but I can't test them yet because I don't have any NT
machines around.

The trial version says it will work on NT but no mention of the free
version.

Thanks.
