Grisoft is Excellent and most if not many will tell you that it works better than Norton or McAfee. However there are rumblings around Grisoft about dropping the free version. Avast is also excellent. I highly recommend both.
You can also go to http://housecall.trendmicro.com and do the free online scan. It is often updated more timely than the others. It just dosen't offer you continuous protection but is great for double checking your system.

not trying to give ya any *ahem* "legal" advice, but you could always find a friend with Norton systemworks 2k3 and install that(mooch it if you will )...or a copy of antivirus corporate 7.6 pro from symantec does the trick...made for servers mostly, and theres an easy way to get around the eula, because it is made to be installed on multiple machines...of course if i remember correctly, there is a clause in the EULA that says something about owning the software and managing a network or something to be covered by it....not sure...other than that, stick with AVG, best damn *free* AV software i have run

I also use and highly reccomend the use of AVG. If they do get rid of the free version I would be lost. I know of nothing that works as good for such a great price.

I tried this AVG of yours and I was not impressed at all.

I loaded up good old Avast! and it caught a couple of viruses that AVG would have never known was there.
