Thanks, i shall have a look around. You see i had AGV installed on my old laptop... and that was a wicked piece software to use, but the only thing i didnt like about the anti virus was to repeatedly updating it, i had to update the main database at least once a day..
Ive never heard of NOD32.. but it looks neat..
what are your views on the windows live onecare?
