I had lost faith in AVG a few years ago, but it seems to work better now. I do have one client that uses the business version with success. I often install the free version for home users whose PCs I’ve just cleaned up. It’s hard to tell someone that the AV they just paid for is worthless and they need to buy something else. Installing the free AVG product makes this a little less painful. I also like to install the free Secunia PSI scanner for home users, to try to help them stay up to date on patches. Any comments on that program?

If you're going the paid route, supposedly Kaspersky is the absolute best. I've been using MSSE for almost 2.5 years and have been very pleased.

While it's limited in features, it does stop malware and spyware, and updates happen with Windows Update. For all of WU's problems, other things all seem to suck more. -- Ben ~ Finally, powerful endpoint security that ISN'T a resource hog! ~ ~ <http://www.sunbeltsoftware.com/Business/VIPRE-Enterprise/> ~ --- To manage subscriptions click here: http://lyris.sunbelt-software.com/read/my_forums/ or send an email to listmana...@lyris.sunbeltsoftware.com<mailto:listmana...@lyris.sunbeltsoftware.com> with the body: unsubscribe ntsysadmin -- -cynicalgeek- cynicalgeek<at>gmail.com<http://gmail.com> -- ~ Finally, powerful endpoint security that ISN'T a resource hog! ~ ~ <http://www.sunbeltsoftware.com/Business/VIPRE-Enterprise/> ~ --- To manage subscriptions click here: http://lyris.sunbelt-software.com/read/my_forums/ or send an email to listmana...@lyris.sunbeltsoftware.com<mailto:listmana...@lyris.sunbeltsoftware.com> with the body: unsubscribe ntsysadmin ~ Finally, powerful endpoint security that ISN'T a resource hog! ~ ~ <http://www.sunbeltsoftware.com/Business/VIPRE-Enterprise/> ~ --- To manage subscriptions click here: http://lyris.sunbelt-software.com/read/my_forums/ or send an email to listmana...@lyris.sunbeltsoftware.com<mailto:listmana...@lyris.sunbeltsoftware.com> with the body: unsubscribe ntsysadmin ~ Finally, powerful endpoint security that ISN'T a resource hog! ~ ~ <http://www.sunbeltsoftware.com/Business/VIPRE-Enterprise/> ~ --- To manage subscriptions click here: http://lyris.sunbelt-software.com/read/my_forums/ or send an email to listmana...@lyris.sunbeltsoftware.com with the body: unsubscribe ntsysadmin
