I used AVG Free for two years and then ponied up for their Security package to replace ZoneAlarm which abandoned my OS (NT 4.0) some time ago. My only complaint about the virus protection is that it is a hog running in the background. But I was running it on a 300MHz machine with 256 Megs of RAM, so I could hardly hold that against it.

The new firewall either had a huge learning curve or some serious problems, I got tired of trying to figure out which. So I went back to ZoneAlarm. I run the AVG virus checker on a 2 a.m. schedule and the email checker in the background, and all's well. And no, I wouldn't think of running P6 on this machine. My P6 machine is networked and firewalled but not connected to the Internet. Which means buying VFB is a charitable contribution....
