I have this one, and ur right. It is a very good one. It scans webpages for viruses, and any files that are in use. The AV seems pretty powerful and keeps my comp healthy. Updated frequently. Highly recommended _________________ "Well, I gotta go...Yeh I'm running out of change"

Hey, Great tip!!

I'm just finishing the setup on a spare PC for my kid to use, with wireless internet access (so I can get more flying time in online!). Did this about 6 months ago with Windows 2000 and no protection becuase I thought "it's behind a router, which is a hardware firewall...no problem!". WRONG! 3 weeks later the thing wouldn't even boot anymore....

Doing it up right this time with WinXP, MS Spyware tool, but didn't wanna shell out more bucks to Symantec....this was perfect, it's very very nice!

AVAST ye matey, ARRRRRRRRRR!!!! Smile
