Which are better, Ford or Chevy pickups?

I think using either, with regular updates, is 1000000% better than nothing.

Actually, the infrastructure IT guys at a company I'm doing some work at, like Trend Micro the best. They are competent people that I respect. I use Norton/Symantec, as you can get it at a good price as part of Norton Systemworks. I like the WinDoctor registry groomer that comes with that package, as well as the disk optimizer.

WinDoctor registry groomer?

You ever hear of AVG (www.grisoft.com), FreedomPoster?

First I ever heard of it was last month, when one of my support circle got their computer hosed by something (still not sure what).

Freeware, and seems to be on the up-and-up.

The biggest thing is that people will pay for a year of Norton or McAfee, and then stop. We all know how useful an out-of-date DAT file is. ;-)

Getting the ordinary user to use a freeware AV package seems to be the best bet to me.
