HI Clive and all.

I would agree with you fully clive about Nod 32.

I use it and find it works well, does not get in the way and does not use 
too many system resources.

I have heard good things about F-Secure also but I do not know how 
accessible this is.

Personally I will use the free AVG in an emergency but I do have some 
concerns about the package, mainly that it does not seem to be able to 
totally remove viruses once they do get onto your system.  AVG can alert you 
to viruses though and stop you becoming infected with anything nasty in the 
first place but if something does get through you often need something 
better to remove it.

Hi,

I use NOD32, from www.eset.com, and cannot recommend it highly enough.
On my computers I run WINDOWS XP HOME EDITION SP2 and have both JAWS
Professional 5.10 and WIN-EYES Professional 5.5 installed.  They both
work equally well with NOD32,.  The only change that is needed to make
it thoroughly user friendly is for the ESET 'custom graphical user
interface' to be switched off.

I have used NOD32 now for more than two ears and would not go back.  It
costs about £30 per year but this price is reduced if blocks of 2 or
three years cover are purchased at once.  As with all the 'paid'
Anti-virus packages I have come across these costs are typical for a new
purchase only; subsequent renewals are usually based on a lower tariff
structure.

I have not used it for some time now so cannot speak from personal
experience but the 'free' version of AVG seems to enjoy a good deal of
popularity and doesn't seem to cause to many problems for screen-reading
software applications.

Hope this helps...

Clive.S
