I've used Norton for years. My license was coming up so I decided to see what else was out there. Tried the free version of AVG and to my surprise, it found a couple viruses that Norton did not. That sold me and I recommend this to everyone now.
By the way, for people who are having trouble downloading the virus defs in AVG6, apparently the server or something went down. Follow these instructions and it will work fine again:
Navigate to your AVG install directory and rename your existing url.ini file to url.iniold.
Copy the following and paste into notepad and save it as url.ini. Put this new file into your AVG install directory. You'll now have 3 options to select from with www.grisoft.com being the default.
[SERVER_NAME]
1=free.grisoft.cz
2=ftp.grisoft.com
3=www.grisoft.com
[SERVER_URL]
1=http://free.grisoft.cz/softw/60/fe
2=ftp.grisoft.com/pub/softw/60/fe/
3=http://www.grisoft.com/softw/60/fe/
Actual URL=3

Avg Anti-Virus
Reviewed by: Baz, Sat Nov 22 2003
This is,in my opinion the best anti-virus software in the market place. It beats the high priced top brand names out there, hands down and is free. I have been useing AVG for two years now . It really does the business, easy to configure and does not slow your machine down. If you surf the net it`s a must to have.

AVG Antivirus free edition
Reviewed by: Mandie, Wed Jun 18 2003
I have been using this program for almost a year now, and apart from almost giving me a heart attack once when it shut all my programs down at 1.30am (thankfully - it had caught a nasty virus!) I have no complaints whatsoever. But the real thing that I think recommends this programme over other free antivirus software is the excellent technical help available. As a novice user, I have found their help invaluable, their replies easy to understand and better yet, you don't have to wait a week for someone to get back to you! Top marks all round ;o)
