But, have you assessed your needs, or are you just window shopping? Make your product decisions based on matching your needs with the right product features. >> Stay informed about: freeware antivirus products

They're free, and they're AV products, and like all AV products, they're only good at detecting what's known. IMO, however, Avast is a resource hog, and doesn't like playing with other AVs, even when you don't use the realtime scanner. -- So this guy walks into a bar and says "ouch" Then this other guy sees what happenned to the first guy, and so he misses the bar. Then he trips on a crack in the sidewalk, and gets three stitches. the moral of the story: going to bars can give you a headache, but passing them by might get you stitches. >> Stay informed about: freeware antivirus products
