Anti-virus programs
The program PC-cillin came with my new computer (I'll have to pay after a trial period).
On my old computer, I had AVG (free) and it seemed to work fine.
I am the sole user - with the exception of a very occasional houseguest - and I NEVER open attachments unless I know the sender.
Is there any reason why I should subscribe to PC-cillin?

Theres no need for a paid antivirus, AVG is good.
My personal preference is Avast

Depends on your preference and tastes. The new AVG Version 8 is fine. I want the best in protection and performance. In my opinion, Nod32 is just about the best. It provides great protection and doesn't bog down the pc. You can get a one year version of Nod32 usually for about $25. That is a pretty cheap investment for one of the most important pieces of software you'll use other than the Operating System.

Kaspersky or NOD 32
Zone Alarm Internet Security Suite (With Kaspersky built in) plus NOD 32 is king.

Nod 32
What is NOD 32? Does it come with the zone alarm or is it from a seperate company? Thanks for you help!
