[Shotimes] Anti Virus

[Bill Murray]

AVG is pretty good, I recommend it all the time to people that don't
want to buy an AV program and pay for the subscription on top of it(I
think extra subscription fees are wrong anyway).  AVG does have a pay
version, but it has more features.  The free version only has a very
basic scan schedule and cannot do custom scans, it's also for personal
use only, commercial use must be paid for.  I use Norton on my laptop
cause I get it for free and AVG for my home desktop.  I like them both.

" Updates only take like 3-5 min versus the 45 min for Norton or
MacAfee"

What?? What do you have, 24KB dial-up modems at work?? If a Norton
update
takes longer than a couple of minutes on my DSL line, it's a big update!

I'm sure that any of the major AV software packages work just fine. I
happen
to like Norton AV because I also use the other Norton packages, and I
feel
that Symantec does a great job.

Maybe it's just me being the naturally cynical type, but I would not
trust
my home PCs....much less our business network.....to a "free" AV
package. I
have an immediate suspicion that it will not be as good as something
that
people pay for......it's like "what's the catch"????

And there ALWAYS is a catch
