[AT] O/T anti virus software question

[David Bruce]

I like the Trend Micro online scanner - used it a few times to clean up a system

I also have used the Panda online scanner - I like it also.
Charlie it will be a cold day before I buy another Norton product - just my 
opinion and we know what opinions are like :)
