A2 is a free of charge Anti-Trojan, Anti-Worm, Anti-Dialer and Anti-Spyware Software - optimal protection to prevent these things getting on in future you might like to use the free Avast home edition as your resident antivirus / malware app. avast! antivirus - high security and protection from malware with anti-spyware and anti-rootkit software built in Hope that helps SIW2 |
