XPs own firewall doesn't block outbound traffic so you'll not notice
the plethora of spyware AdAware misses phoning home.

Well... I switched from Norton to Avast and found no probs til today:
Updating is perfect, there are no detectable side-effects with other
programs, and the uninstalling behaviour is correct.

I agree. He is using those televised speeches as free political campaigns
for himself which is unfair to Kerry. >> Stay informed about: best free antivirus |

Microsoft had an AV, it was called MSAV (the Windows version was called
MWAV) and it was a joke (surprise!).
Recently it acquired RAV (I don't remember whether it acquired only the
technology or only the people or both and the company). No idea what
this means for the future.
What we are talking about here is the EZTrust program, which is not
developed by Microsoft (thanks God!), it's developed by CA and it's
offered for free thanks to a partnership with Microsoft. >> Stay informed about: best free antivirus |
