Free antivirus protection??

Thanks all, for your many suggestions! The computer I gave my daughter
isn't ancient, it's got a 1.6 gig processor and it does have "Spy Sweeper"
installed on it, so it's not like I gave her a dinosaur! I'll use AVG just
until I can put up the $40 for Norton. I just don't want her to go on-line
for even a minute without protection, I repartitioned it just before I gave
it to her and within two weeks my granddaughter had turned it to toast! I
swear, teenagers say yes to every pop-up that entices them. I'm also going
to set up seperate profiles and limit their power, that'll fix'em!! At
least until they figure out a way to hack their way out of that!

My daughter did the same thing with a Windows laptop I gave her. The
number of infestations by spyware and trojans totalled something over
130. Anyway, I found the solution in her case was to give her a laptop
with a much less exploitable OS. She has had no malware problems at all
since. You might want to consider that option yourself.
