I'm looking for free anti-virus software as well.   The choice appears to be between AVG & Avast.  Anyone tried them both and can compare?   Regards, Ross. -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Chrissy Sent: Wednesday, 11 June 2003 13:39 To: Multiple recipients of list offtopic Subject: Re: [DUG-OFFTOPIC]: Virus scanners I use AVG and like it.  The only prob is that the default settings are not acceptable.  The one which I believe must be changed is the frequency at which updates are preformed.  I use one day - not 30 days.  It is free and is better, in my opinion.  It beats Norton's anti virus progamme as far as I am concerned and is a lot cheaper.   www.grisoft.com   Chrissy   ----- Original Message ----- From: Paul Mckenzie To: Multiple recipients of list offtopic Sent: Wednesday, June 11, 2003 12:53 PM Subject: [DUG-OFFTOPIC]: Virus scanners I am not particularly up-to-date with this area ... What is the best (i.e. cheapest that still does the job) virus scanner - for home use.   Regards Paul McKenzie Analyst Programmer SMSS Ltd.
