    Yes Avast or AVG. Personally finf AVG slicker but its onl a 1 month's trial
    whereas Avast is is free for home use. Norton's a nono; Trend Micro-PC-cillin
    is free and does work but seems to occupy a lot of cpu time, especially on
    startup.

    Re: anti-virus software

    For quite some time now i've been using the beta version of PC-Cillin. This
    has always worked fine for me. However, i have recently found that the
    Internet explorer protected mode is turned off on my machine and have
    suspected that PC-Cillin was the cause. Having removed PC-Cillin and
    installed Avast i now have confirmation that PC-Cillin was the cause of the
    protected mode option being Off.

    Avast and AVG have been another stalwart of mine and now that Avast works
    with Vista ( i had a lot of problems with Avast in previous builds) i will
    now be installing Avast instead of PC-Cillin.
