Just my 2 c worth. Updates once a month nowadays is equivalent to no
protection at all, since viruses come out and spread in a matter of days
and sometimes of hours.
Imagine the case of Nimda. If you had to wait a whole month for the next
update, your antivirus wouldn't be any good to you.
My suggestion is: pay for a solution that meets your needs.

Well, 1120 AUD is not what I call FREE. Panda's is free as beer.

Maybe I didn't explained this well.
The virus pattern database gets updated EVERY month. Yes I know, this is
a
lot of time at this time but is much better than nothing. The second
problem
is that you need to download the full package every month, not just the
database. And third, it's not integrated with e-smith's mail system.
It's a comercial quality product, it's just the comercial policy. If you
want daily updates and all that just PAY for one of their products. With
this one you don't need to buy anything. As an example, they have reached
an
agreement with a popular linux distro here in Spain to bundle it in their
distribution.
What I'm saying is, if you have the money go for Service Link, if you
can't affoard such a step price, go for RAV, but if you don't want any of
them, at least use this one as is free (no free trial, complete freeware
even for comercial use). I hope you get the point. This is better than
nothing. It's legal to do so and cheap :)
Regards.
