    Sorry, laptop probs yesterday so couldnt reply.

    Basically I have had problems installing AVG anti-virus and just wondered which AV/Spyware programmes were "top of the class" at the moment?

    AVAST is a good alternative to AVG. It is also free, and just as effective.

    itsbeef ... and don't forget to install all the other free applications to help keep malware at bay e.g. Windows Defender, Spybot S&D, SpywareGuard, SpywareBlaster et al.

    Best of luck.
