I'm looking to purchase some antivirus software and was wondering what ya'll would recommend? I found Panda Antivirus 2007 and was wondering if it was good or not?
After trying for hours to burn a CD to transfer my files and settings and then losing pictures I took, I'm finally set with my new puter except for the anti-v. I would download it from AVG, but my dial up is so painfully slow that I'd rather just buy one instead and install it that way.
Thanks for any help!

Go to www.antivir.com
Download it for free. Just let your dialup pull it down overnight.
Once a day you will get a single popup message when it updates... that is it.
Many anti-virus products are bloated pieces of crap that really drag your system down.
Antivir is lightweight and highly rated, and best of all, free.

I have always like Symantec antivirus the best. If you think you have a virus you can go to Panda’s free on-line scan also Trendmicro.com has one and one I just found yesterday that you can download to run a quick clean from McAfee called Stinger and it worked really well and was fast http://vil.nai.com/vil/stinger/
Hope this helps.
