Dear friends:

After trying Norton's and McAfee's Antivirus, and being tired for
their problems and the way that they make my computer to run slow, I
want to try Grisoft's free AVG Antivirus.

I think that simpler is better. Also I have Spy Sweeper installed, and
I am very happy of it.

Do you have any opinion of AVG Free Edition? Is it reliable and a good
Antivirus? Does it loads your machine very hard?

I have a Thinkpad X-41 TabletPC with 1.5 GB memory, 1.6 GHz, with
WinXP SP2 with the standard Windows Firewall (I don't think that
anything more is necessary).

Thanks

Note: Please forgive me for my bad English, I am trying to improve it!

Almost anything would be preferable to Norton or McAfee. AVG does not load
the system as heavily as either of them, and it has a better detection rate.

Thus, I think that AVG would be an improvement.

I use NOD32 which isn't free.

I also use ZoneAlarm as my firewall because I want a firewall which blocks
outgoing messages. Windows firewall does not do that.

Your English is quite good. I would never have known that you are posting
from Chile had you not said so.

Regards

Jim
