Hi,
Nod32's great. I've tried the free AVG, and have used both Mcafee and Norton, too. I had good luck with Norton for a while but ditched it when Nod32 came along. Mcafee gave me fits, especially since it's a real bear to shut down when you need to, and it invades your system like a cancerous growth.
I have a question about NOD32, though. I do a fair amount of field work which involves troubleshooting and the like, and I'd like to have NOD32 on a thumb drive so I can have a portable antivirus program to use when cleaning up systems. Can that be done? 

Thanks,
Tom

Hi Listers,
As Chris pointed out (below), NOD32 is very accessible and updates come automatically; in fact, they come almost daily. You can also set it to do a scan daily, weekly or whatever, so I set mine to scan daily at 3 o'clock in the morning. One thing Chris didn't mention is that you can download a 30-day trial version of the program to see if you like it.

Hi. We can't forget my favorite of all time, Nod 32. It's probably one of the most screen-reader-friendly antivirus programs out there today. Once you get past the nonstandard ways in which you get into the dialogues to change things, it is easy, and it just works with almost no intervention from you. I like that. Just keep my system updated and let me do my work. Nod 32 does that 

http://www.eset.com is where you can grab it.

It's not free, but it is for a good price and worth every single dollar.

I'm using Windows Vista and and up to date version of Mcafee. It now seems to make a sound when ever it displays it's notification screen, and then I use the JAWS cursor to find the required buttons to do whatever I need to do. The good thing with Windows Vista is that you can Alt + Tab to the desktop and the Mcafee notification screen stays on so using the JAWS cursor to find where to click is relatively easy.

Are there any virus protection programs that work well with jaws? I need one for my laptop and one that is good. Thanks much, Jake.
