With no reservations I can recommend the free security services from Microsoft... Security Essentials, Windows Defender, Malware Removal tool and the Firewall. You might ad the freebies such as Ad A Ware or SpyBot and a few others as long as you do not duplicate the Antivirus service. Here's a link to the best of the freebies available: http://www.techsupportalert.com/content/probably-best-free-security-list-world.htm?utm_source=feedburner&utm_medium=feed&utm_campaign=Feed%3A+gizmosbest+%28Gizmo%27s+Best-ever+Freeware%29&utm_content=FeedBurner#Vista_security If you do not already subscribe to Gizmo, you really should do it now. You will not regret it. Don On 1/22/2011 9:58 PM, cristy wrote: > looks like my time with symantecs corp AV (symantec endpoint protection) > since I am no longer a student where I attended.
