i would recommend it to anyone and i do.

I have just put AVG on a vista laptop, for one of the lads with me, cos he is a cheapskate but he has had nothing but problems from day one, it slow the laptop down quite a lot and overall its cheap

I notice you have a 32 bit machine. I tried Trend Micro on my 64 bit and had lots of problems. Tech rep at Trend Micro said M$ was messing them up with Service Pack 1 and suggested uninstalling SP1 until they could work out bugs. I elected to uninstall Trend Micro but might look at it again when I hear they have worked the bugs out for 64 bit systems.
