stick with the free stuff and you can always rotate what works for you
Filehippo is a good onestop shopping spot for safe , free software...

It's funny you should mention the free version of AVG JP. 3 out of 5 infected computers that are brought into our shop, have the free version of AVG on them.

The other 2 of 5 are a mixture of none, Norton, McAfee, Kapersky's, etc.



While I'm on the AV soapbox . . .

Can anyone tell me why all of you condemn Trend Micro . . . but when someone is infected, the first thing you recommend is HouseCall???

Harder
