Ian,
I have just recently started using AVG and am evaluating it against Avast
AV which I now use. Avast is very good and free like AVG. Avast does
automatic virus DB updates. I also use Trend Micro's AV which is ok but
costs (Virus DB is free but must be manually updated. I used to use Norton
AV but these are better with less conflict problems. Norton also costs for
DB updates after a year. All of these work good with Zone Alarm. Just for
your, and the discussion members, info.
