Thanks I'll try to snag that article.
I used to use Zone Alarm on the wife's machine and Sygate on mine...they
were fine. But when I built the new XP machines I decided to just go with
the XP built in and have had no problems yet. Also use CrapCleaner and
AdAware and have been very happy with the entire set up except I haven't
decide on which AV to stay with. The free one year on this machine EZtrust
runs out in august so I still have some time to decide.
| Rob,
|
| There was a new review and evaluation of most of the AV packages in this
| month's PCWorld magazine, which you might find interesting. Like JoAnn, I
| use AVG for AV, but zone alarm for my firewall. I too dislike Norton...way
| too invasive.
