Cool, thanks. I like that CNET compares them to one another, because I don't really know what I'm looking for.

The reason I ask is that I just got a notice that my McAfee subscription was renewed automatically and I'm just wondering if I need to pay $40 a year for this when I'm on such a tight budget.

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.
I use AVG Free.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
I am as one with DX.
Also, if you get high-speed internet at home, your provider may offer virus protection as part of your package. Check their site.

megan, no. I've heard good things about AVG.
If you combine AVG with CCleaner and spyware checkers and you should be in good shape.

Cnet rated AVG as one of the highest virus software out there. And it's free. And VERY vigilant. But, while we're discussing it, any recs for spyware? and what's CCleaner

Thanks, I knew that there probably had to be a better way. And that buffistas would know it.
