| Best free/cheap antivirus software?
Well, I took the plunge and I'm doing that Napster thing for so much a month, so need some decent antivirus protection. I heard that there's some decent free ones, I can spend up to $20 if I have to pay (it being the holiday season and all, have to conserver money). So what are the good ones that will help me out with the whole DL'ing from Napster thing? |

Any Yahoo! Music Unlimited is cheaper than Napster. http://music.yahoo.com/unlimited/
You shouldn't need virus protection from Napster. |

AVG on all of my computers here
and agreed, the new napster will not contain virii. now if you are using p2p programs then an antivirus is a must (heck, even just being connected to the internet is enough to need an AV program) |
