AVG

I downloaded that and it asked for a licence/sales number and wouldn't install. No email was mentioned regarding it. Do you know what this is about?

I swear by avast. It had a spotty rep in the past, but the new one is aces. I switched from McAfee (which is an excellent pay for AV) and see no reason to go back. And I liked McAfee very much. So that gives you an idea of how well I like avast. They keep it updated and it talks to you, too. I had a trojan try to sneak onto my comp and a siren went off and a stern voice said "Virus detected", lol...

It did give me a tingle, now that you mention it. Kinda like the one I got while watching the OSCAR nominated and GOLDEN GLOBE winner Brokeback Mountain. :p

Avast is what I use once my Norton free trial runs out. Norton has been sucking hard lately.

I used AVG for quite awhile and it worked quite nicely.
