What Anti-Virus SW to Use?
It seems Symantec is messing with auto-updates for Symantec/Norton Corporate Edition 8, it's what I've been using/recommending for some time now, so I'd like to look into/evaluate some freeware options... I typically use
www.nonags.com to find/download freeware, I've had really great success with anything that is rated there, you're guaranteed no to get
nagware or
crippleware, etc...
They list a few with 6 out of 6 ratings:

Sounds hokey!The first 2 sound vaguely familiar, but that's it... I'm reluctant to go with freeware AV software, not so much for the code, but regarding the updates... Any personal experience or recommendations on these would be appreciated! If I do go ahead with pulling one down and testing it out, I'll post the results here...
