I realize this isn't a NG about virus programs. But I've stuck with a Free one
that I found on a drivers CD I got with win98 7 years ago. It's never failed
me. It searches, intercepts, finds, identifies, cleans, or deletes.

Are all the other virus programs worthless ?
Only reason I ask is they're offering a FREE one thru my ISP, only trouble is
it's more a sales tool to sell the meat of the program, like the firewall
$29.99, the spam tool $29.95, the virus cleaner $29.95 etc.. For free you get
something that may or may not identify something in real time. It won't stop
it, that's what the $29.95 firewall and $29.95 cleaners for.

Are all the other virus programs like this ? bits and pieces for sale to make
up the complete package ?
