RE: Security Software
I have used McAfee, e-trust (think thats the name), Nortons and AVG.

Norton was sloooow. Even when running in the background it slowed everything down (on a 2.8Ghz system), now to mention that it took about 3 hours to scan 30Gb of data....

So I got McAfee. Immediately it made sveral things go wrong...

I had no problems with e-trust, but it wasn't really very good at the detection side of things...

I now run AVG, and have done happily for almost a year now. I have the professional edition, which just means I get updates before free users and get them as they come. As for definition updates, I get them daily, to keep AVG up-to-date on the virus front. Whenever I download a file that is infected, no sooner has it landed on my desktop, than AVG tells me. The big bonus is that AVG manages to scan my entire hard disk in around 30 minutes, and can scan in the background without effecting anything.
