    Fot the OP a decent comparison of the three major free anti-virus programs can be found here

    I've used all three at various times and never had a problem, however Ido also use the best Anti-Virus protection available, the one installed between my ears!
    It's my problem, it's my problem
    If I feel the need to hide
    And it's my problem if I have no friends
    And feel I want to die

    Now that really is good, thanks. Can I ask a personal question? how old are you? you can PM if you wish. The reason I ask is that I only took up the internet a few years ago after a heart attack, and being near to 70, the old grey matter is only capable of taking in so much.

    Funnily enough, you know those Nintendo LS lite things. I was offered a demonstration of one in a store recently. It was the Brain one. After several attempts, it said I had eye sight of a 40 yr old and my brain was 80!

    I suppose that says it all.

    Who are you asking? :p

    Personally, I'm not too old! (20) but working as a Network Security Engineer so have to do a lot of research on these things anyway.

    I think you mean Nintendo DS Lite? hehe. Those things are designed to put your confidence down to start with and slowly build it up, so I wouldn't worry too much ;)

    Guess I'm not too old then (27). Two age milestones for me was getting on a bus where the bus driver was obviously younger than me, and other one was seeing police officers much younger. Haven't had any games console since the Mega Drive and that's a fair few years ago now. (Still play PC games though).

    We will all have different favourite free Anti Virus Scanners, the important thing is to at least use some form of guard against virus.

    I use AVG, because I have never had any problems with it, I am sure the others are all OK as well.

    Well both my children have Ds Lites and I use those and Santa's bring a Wii this year for all of us. I dont' think age really comes into it, the DS is a great piece of kit whatever age you are. I do spend a lot more time on PC games though, mainly because consoles aren't really ideal for strategy games.
