for a virus checker ,i recommend Avast.com , its free for non commercial use - antivirus to friends, family and there friends who often ask

AVG - is also vey good

The one I see recommend here a lot is
NOD32
but its not free

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?
