|
Free [not time-bombed] virus software from CA. I downloaded and installed last night... seems to work fine.
Enjoy
http:// COPY & Paste etrustantivirus.ca.com/v7/eav7promo.exe
ps, if you can't figure that out, you really should not be installing any kind of software
again props to the [H] |

It will do updates, but you'll have to schedule it. I set my to check for downloads once a week. |

I use Avast antivirus (free for home use). The linux beta version expires July 31 and there doesn't currently seem to be a release version... I may have missed it though. Anyhow... this AV proggy has automatic virus updates (though you'll probably want to edit the sounds in control panel that the thing installs if you leave your puter on 24/7 like I do) along with all the usual email scanning, and various standard features.
