I run AVG and it appears to work OK. It’s email filtering works well, although Outlook seems to block as many as AVG does. This may be because Outlook gets them first. Having said that its free and definitely less resource hungry than Nortons, which I wont touch with a barge poll.   -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Ross Levis Sent: Wednesday, 11 June 2003 2:08 pm To: Multiple recipients of list offtopic Subject: RE: [DUG-OFFTOPIC]: Virus scanners   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.   --- Incoming mail is certified Virus Free.
