Free Anti-virus

[Hodge]

Here is a good anti-virus program that is completely free. It's rated just below Norton by Consumer Reports (http://www.consumerreports.org/main...ASSORTMENT<>ast_id=333133&bmUID=1125441537325)
In addition to the virus scanning, it has real-time protection for p2p, instant messaging, internet mail, outlook, local network, and web. I've only been using it for a few days after my NIS subscription ended, but I think it's definitely worth checking out. Here is the link: http://www.avast.com/eng/avast_4_home.html

Avast is awesome. Been using it for a year or better now. We even got rid of Norton and put Avast on all our office computers because it does such a nice job.
