Howard, I have been using Microsoft's Windows Security, free from 
Microsoft for maybe a couple of years.  There has recently been 
chat about it not protecting your computer, but I think that's in 
the Malware part of it and you can get other software that will 
work to get rid of Malware.  I have been using Windows Security 
ever since I stopped using AVG and it has worked fine.  Just my 
two cents.  Jim WA6EKS

Yesterday avast updated its program and deffinitions.  Now it 
thinks that
any form of system access is so suspicious that it shuts down 
your computer.
It also doesn't like text cloaner.  Consiquently, I no longer 
like avast.
The program interface has become innaccessible, even with jaws.  
So besides
micrsoft security essentials, which is very weak, does anybody 
have a
recommendation for a free anti--virus program that is both strong 
and
excessible?

I hear for purchase, nod-32 is good.
