Hi Carol.

I'm going to have a stab at why F Prot hardly gets a mention.

Because people who purchase new computers or even hardware, such as a new ethernet card often get either free or evaluation copys of (mostly Norton), on their driver disk.

Because essentially Norton and McaFee have become household names.

But like Hotpoint they're not always the best choice.

OK, Steve, why is Fprot so good then?  It's been around ages, grant you,
but seldom gets a mention.

Curious!

Hi Peter,

I couldn't agree with you more.  F-Prot is the best anti-virus package I
have tried personally, and seems to place the least impact on any
system's overall performance.  AVG is annoying me now, because of its
stupid attachments, which you have to turn off, and its blatant
advertising, and telling other people that their sig files are out of
date in Emails.  I think AVG is now horrible, in all flavours.

All the best

Specifically on the Antivirus front, I wonder if anyone has tried
Kaspersky Anti-Virus Personal Pro

It seems to have had very good mentions in the press, not that I
always take that as a good sign.  The company reckons to distribute
updates hourly, which indicates to me that its likely aimed primarily

at business users.  Anyone know more, or have experience using it?

Barry and others are quite right:  Free doesn't necessarily mean
inferior or sub-standard.  The people in the open source community
tend very much to be men and women who take a pride in well crafted
writing of software.
The same can apply to commercial software, and remember that a free
offering, if it works propperly, is the best intro possible for those

interested in a fully supported paid-for version.
