	Look out... Here comes another "me too".   :-)   I found AVG early on and it has never 
let me down. I am really fond of "free".   I also use the free Zone Alarm firewall, the 
free Spybot Search And Destroy (beware of the imitator here), Adaware (free) and the free 
Crap Cleaner.
	I could buy an old tractor with the money I could have spent for the same protection.    
:-)    Sure the other stuff has more bells and whistles and hype but much of that stuff 
is like putting a seat belt on your Lazy-boy or putting on a condom to walk past a hooker 
standing on the corner. Just not really needed...
