Here's a few useful links...
Dublin PC Services - Help Center: Useful Software & Links - Providing Computer Repair Service to the Greater Dublin Area
there is also a useful antivirus comparative

I really recommend AVG, or AVS.

I've used many of 'em, including Pc-cillin (strongly advise AGAINST this one - VERY buggy), Norton, AVG, Kasp among others...and can say they're all nearly equal - just the differences in resources used and the user interface.

Eg Pccillin had the worst interface ever, three different areas where you'd change a similar setting, and when I used it a few months ago, it didn't even save the settings (XP). Extremely buggy.

But yeah, just pick one...it does not really matter. Heck, the only important things are the web script blocking and if you do major downloading...

Anyhow, I'm not sure what they all cost, but just a note about Norton if you're thinking about it: buy it in the stores, $80 (3 licenses), buy it on Newegg $25 (1 license).

Nod32 for me, I stop using Norton since I was 13.

I'm curious about that Sav 10, it is something familiar, new or just one of the brand that decide to change the name?
