[Shotimes] RE Computer

[Jon Heese]

Very good write-up, Bill.  I only have one thing to note:

I work for a IT consulting/on-site tech support firm, and I am a 
reseller of AVG licenses, so naturally I recommend AVG and make sure my 
clients stay up to date.  In the past 2 weeks, we've been seeing more 
and more trojans and worms popping up on large networks that are 
supposedly "secured" by AVG.  We had 2 large networks (60+ workstations) 
and one small network come down with major infections last week alone.

Alwil Software's Avast picked up on the infections very well, so I've 
now picked up a reseller account for Avast.

Personally, on my home network, I run AVG Network Edition and Avast 
Professional on all my machines, a little overlap never hurt anyone.

As far as the MS Anti-Spyware tool goes: I was *very* surprised with how 
effective this tool was.  Especially for a beta.  I recommend it to most 
of my clients.

Regards,
Jon Heese
