Hello; I use iantivirus because its free. They have a paid version you can upgrade to, but I haven't felt the need or had the funds in the budget. There aren't any free trials of sematics any more. You have 30 days to request your money back. I've never been a fan of norton. I don't know anything about aol's product, but if I were going to pay for one; I'd get semantic. Hope that helps, Max On Aug 19, 2009, at 4:02 PM, Dane Trethowan wrote:
