after all this, avg is this readers best choice for AV

[*Prot3anThr3ad*]

even after testing all the commercial products out there:

For example, you could combine the free firewall built into Windows XP
with Microsoft's free Windows Defender anti-spyware utility, then keep
whatever anti-virus program came with your PC (or download the free AVG
software: http://free.grisoft.com/ ). To block phishing Web sites
trying to impersonate your bank, try the new Internet Explorer 7 and
Mozilla Firefox 2.0 browsers.

I totally agree on AVG. You can download the all new Free AVG 7.5
version here: http://free.grisoft.com/doc/5390/lng/us/tpl/v5.

I haven't updated this list lately, too busy, but there are other
free programs that do help a lot to protect your computer.
