AVG Free's still good, although not as efficient as it once was. The big problem (for some people) is failed updates. You can hack around the problem or go to one of the others such as Avast.

ZoneAlarm is still fine, although some people are having trouble with the later versions. I like ancient versions personally (ZAF 2.6.362, XP SP2 compatible), some people prefer 4.x, and some people prefer 5.x. Not a lot of 6.x fans yet from what I see.

In my case, I have never had an update problem with the latest version of AVG free, running on XP Home.

Then you wouldn't need to decide on an AV program! :)

N.B.: I would not run that even if it were handed to me with source code. It's both wrong and dangerous.

Yea, the new subtraction version works just as well. ;)

Seriously, I am using the Free Edition version in two of my computers and the Professional version in another computer, and AVG has never failed me.

However, for a free antivirus I would look into:
1. Avast
2. AntiVir]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,14219342 Thu, 25 Aug 2005 16:32:32 EDT Re: Any good Still? http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,14219315 Buckazznaked : Guess I will give AVG another go,seemed to be light on resources back when I used it before and seemed to get the job done.

I remember years back when i used a PC I used AVG free addition. Is it still pretty good and lite on resources. I also assume ZA free is good still these days or is the windows built in one improved since XP first came out?
