I'm a wondering what everyone is using for AV software. I've been using
Trend
micro pc-cillin for a few years, but it seems the 2008 version is not
great.
My local pc hardware guy agrees and recommends Kaspersky 2008 Internet
Security. Anyone heard of or used this one?


thanks for all your input.


AVG free is doing the job fine for me.

Me too. They still support win98 also.

It can be hard, I think, to find the free version on their website.
One has to get past 2 or 3 screens that offer the paid version, and
iirc one has to click on a link that isn't named "free version" but
something else altogether. But it's there.


I have been using the free version of AVG for probably 10 years. Seems to
work well enough for me. It is hard to find the free version, but I do use
it on Win 98 and Win XP systems.

I always thought most anything Norton's as a virus of somekind. Same thing
with AOL.
