so it does me fine  

I'd never heard of BullGuard before, but it looks great with online storage as well!! but its not free -  perhaps I'll try the 20day trial when the free AVs start charging.

Avg  version 6.0. 02/09/03
data base version 348 26/12/03 i have these versions

http://www.free-av.com/ is Free and could do with adding to the list. It's German, so if it's anything like their cars, it should be good   And there is a support forum, with an English section

Yer I know you spotted first Hooky my boy, but I just mentioned it again because it wasn't on the list.... or was it? .........was it right at the bottom of the page?......Now level with me Adept, at the risk of losing your saintleyhood ...........................Anyway even if it was, I  reckon FREE ones should be at the Top of the list...........so go get it sorted

I had a few minutes spare so I updated the page Tony. I'll do the Firewall one when I get chance.

Maybe after that I'll put the free ones at the top

You'll do for me, oh blessed one

How about Trend Micro Internet Security? This is updated PC Cillin, and is available from about £19-00 to £38-00. This Anti Virus incorporates a firewall built in and frequent updates. It also scans for Spyware and includes a Spam Filter. I have used PC Cillin before, but this is far superior. The firewall passes all tests for hackers etc by Symantic and Gibson sites and is easy as it sets itself. Available from C/Net or direct-GOOD!

I could swear that I recently saw a completely free full version of this software on a cover disk.  It is probably a previous version, but as I tend to err on the side of caution and use software that is at least one version old (so as to avoid bugs, conflicts, crashes etc that are often associated with unstable new versions) I might see if I can find it later, as I'm putting together an oldish (but improved) PC for my son, and an all-in-one security package would save me from a lot of faffing about.

I ordered Panda Antivirus 6 Platinum last week and when I got it I found it was only for older versions of Windows so now I have a useless copy of it and it has a whole year of free updates   I will have to look for another one as the free anti viruses don't seem to like my PC

What problems do you get Robo? I have installed AVG on many machines and have never had a problem with it

     Have you tried it on your PC? If you can get it to work or have a Registration Key its worth going to Panda site and you may be able to download an updated version. I have used Panda in the past and you can download updated programmes for the time of your subscription.

The free antiviruses just didn't agree with my computer, I got quite a bit of slow down and most of the time they didn't want to download any updates  

I'll have a look at the panda site, cheers delgado
