Amen on that - Bruce I too used to live/die by Norton/Symantec, but there
software has got so bloated and intrusive, I like you, decided to use AVG -
of course I've graduated to the pay version (as the free version won't run
on Win2k3), but the rest of my PC's (wife's and our laptop running XP) use
the free version. I also use ZA Pro on the 2k3 machine, and the free
version on the XP, but a lot of people aren't fans of ZA, especially since
they sold out. Most likely I'll be checking out the sygate version in a few
months when my ZA Pro subscription is up - thanks for the info.
