I was going to mention Avast but I can&#39;t really speak to it compared to other products.  I haven&#39;t tested it out extensively by throwing things at it.  It doesn&#39;t seem to bog your system down like commercial products do.  It does require you to re-register periodically to keep using the free version.  <br>

Thanks all for your advice and comments.<br>

I&#39;ve settled for Avast.<br>

&gt;<br>
&gt; I use Kaspersky anti-virus (version 8 I think).  Had some difficulties in the initial install as I had to remove some traces of old anti-virus protection, but once installed it seems OK, it&#39;s a paid version.<br>

&gt;<br>
&gt;&gt; I know we&#39;ve been here before, but what do list members use for<br>
&gt;&gt; Anti-virus? I&#39;ve used AVG up top now but have found that their new AVG<br>
&gt;&gt; 8.0 is causing all sorts of mayhem on my machine so have reverted to AVG<br>
&gt;&gt; 7.5. However, from Monday that is no longer supported with updates so<br>
&gt;&gt; need to find something else.<br>
&gt;&gt;<br>
&gt;&gt; I need something for a small home/office network at a sensible price -<br>
&gt;&gt; doesn&#39;t have to be free but that&#39;s always a bonus! (I was using paid-for<br>
&gt;&gt; AVG).<br>
&gt;&gt;<br>
&gt;&gt; Suggestions welcome.<br>
&gt;&gt;<br>
&gt;&gt; Thanks<br>
&gt;&gt;<br>
