[Web4lib] anti-virus freeware

[Thomas Bennett]

For personal use I reccommend AVG antivirus and antispyware.  It has been 
around for a long time and it doesn't use resources that slow down your 
computer like I've found that MacAfee does and maybe some other antivirus 
programs.

For home I've bought the entire suite (virus,spyware,rootkit,hacker attack, 
phishing protection. and safe web surfing, downloading, and instant 
mesaging.)

Although, there is also Clamwin is available as a protable app 
(http://portableapps.com/apps) to run from USB.  I'm not familiar with Avast 
but sounds like those that are familiar with it give it a strong 
recommendation.
