I've never been infected with a virus in 22 years of computer-using, but I attribute that more to my vigilance than the perfectness of any antivirus software. I would need a lot more to go on than the word of two guys on a atech show.

Interesting, I have used AVG for years now and not been infected.  I check
periodically with one of the other online programs such as housecall,
norton, or mcaffee.  Just this week I heard a computer consultant recommend
AVG free on a radio call-in show, and his recommendation was affirmed by a
second consultant on the same show.

I have a difficult time trusting any free antivirus program, and I've heard
too many things specifically about AVG which suggest to me that it's not a
very reliable piece of software. Nod32 is inexpensive yet effective and
EXTREMELY accessible.

Where can you get AVG from?

Hi,

I also recommend that to all. Cause I'm using AVG for almost a two
years and I find it so effective. It detected more than ten attempts
of virus for this last 8893 hours, and actually last week, it had
prevented another one. Even it's free, it works like paid anti-virus
programs. 
What else can you ask for huh? Ah, well, about accessibility, JAWS can
read the interphase but not that perfect, you know what I mean? But,
there are lots of keyboard commands for you. No especial scripts for
that as far as I know. You may search for one if you like, but I did.

Hello
I Recommend AVG. I use it. It has a very low memory footprint[won't
slow down your computer], and is 100 percent free.
