I just had to print that out... Awesome. As for free AV solutions, I have the following suggestions:
MSE - Doesn't run on XP64? Bummer. AVG - It has begun to suck in the past year or so. Avast - I haven't used it in years. Might be a good choice. ClamWin with Clam Sentinel - ClamAV is open source AV... used by millions of users who are behind virus scanning firewalls (most of them use it because it's free) and with the Sentinel program, it scans items as they are used (a feature that ClamWin can't do on it's own yet.) I recommend this only for those who wish to support the open source AV, as it's probably not as tested as other AVs for desktop use. Panda Cloud - This is my new current favorite. It's free and slightly different style of AV, using the cloud to do much of it's heavy lifting. Does it work? It has for me. It's also extremely lightweight, so it doesn't bog down any older/slower systems as much. It should work on XP64. And, last.... Vipre Rescue - Not a AV, but a cleaner... but need I say more? --Matt Ross Ephrata School District ----- Original Message ----- From: Roger Wright [mailto:rhw...@gmail.com] To: NT System Admin Issues [mailto:ntsysadmin@lyris.sunbelt-software.com] Sent: Tue, 31 May 2011 09:00:26 -0700 Subject: Re: Home AV for user with XPx64 > This is the best free solution: > http://www.dumbentia.com/pdflib/scissors.pdf > > > > Roger Wright > ___ > > "Formula for success: rise early, work hard, strike oil." - J.
