[WEB4LIB] Re: Anti-virus software on public kiosks?

Ditto on Command Antivirus, although I have recently been looking at
Norton because they have instructions on their website if not an
executable to remove the newest viruses before McAfee or Command.  In
particular, found on public PCs here, was Pretty Park and MTX, Norton
already had instructions for removal before any information appeared on
the other two sites.  The Command price though has been the best.
