Hi Malcolm

Symantec had Charity pricing which was good but recently doubled it so it
is no longer that much a saving and am unsure if NFP applied. Trend has no
Charity breaks because their product is already so competively priced. My
advice is to Download Trends 30 day trial and get started while you decide
what to use.
