Hi NeverSleepNeverDie,
I would start by saying you get what you pay for. Having said that . . . there is a free anti-virus program called AVG that can
be downloaded at http://www.grisoft.com . Note that AVG only works with Outlook for scanning e-mails (I use Mozilla, so AVG is
not even an option for me). There is also a free firewall called ZoneAlarm it can be downloaded from http://www.zonelabs.com .
Personally I use ZoneAlarm Pro v4.5 for my firewall and Norton Anti virus 2003 for my anti-virus. I understand wanting to save
money, but if you spend any appreciable period of time on the Internet, you should have the best security you can afford. In the
long run, you will save time (and in my case time is money and I charge $100.00 an hour for my time).
Ciao . . . C.Joseph
