My free trial of AVG with Firewall has ended. I liked the product. It is very PC friendly and has very low overhead. I still want to try a couple more products, but I am not going to do that until next year.

Well, my antivirus testing and search continues. I have uninstalled avast! antivirus after it failed to detect a virus. I have some floppies that contain a known virus (make that 2 viruses now that AVG has completed its system scan). Typically when the floppy is put in the drive and the drive is accessed, the [...]
