Tom,
I've used the free AVG virus checker through Win95, Win98 SE and XP home
with JAW's versions 3.5 through to 5.0.  I can never get it to do much in PC
cursor, but in JAW's cursor, everything's just fine and workable.  Updates,
either manual or automated, are a cinch!  One of it's nicest feature is the
quality assurance it can give to incoming or out going Emails and
attachments.  And, oddly enough, AVG often warns me of highly suspect files,
attachments and macro viruses that my commercial virus checker ignores.
I've never known AVG to be wrong about its suspicions yet, and what's more,
it gives really satisfying feedback that the "nasty" has been isolated,
removed, deleted or destroyed.
