private4587 - Yeah I agree with you about Avast, but I'm looking forward to the final release of MSE [Microsoft Security Essentials] in September,or there abouts. It's the new AV from microsoft that will replace Live OneCare and if you google it you can read some of the favourable reviews on MSE. I find that Avast on my pc's is now getting quite bloated and MSE seems like it might be a good alternative to Avast.
