Norton Systemworks 2003 Pro can be had for less than $20. Search the Hot Deals forum. It's a great deal for anti-virus, ghost, and utilities.

They don't seem to stop the latest IRC worm type stuff completely.
Latest seems to be Randex.C and Randex.B i'd sure like to know where these are coming from.

I just DL'ed and installed Avast, and like what I have seen so far. Thanks for the head up, Wart!

PC Cillin 2003 is also another very good anti-virus software,in the end it`s personal preference.

I personally prefer Norton 2003 at the moment which seems to work well, I switched from AVG about 12 months ago when it let me down by not detecting a trojan which was nesting on my machine...grr!

I've not tried Avast though...might have to give it a go.

AVG
free, effective

whoa, systemworks includes Norton Ghost? That's a pretty solid deal, Ghost runs upwards of $50 retail on its own...

Well, I use McAfee and am very happy with it. However, I've read many times that in independent testing, Panda Antivirus is the most effective, for whatever that's worth.

Here's a link to their site: Panda Software
