If you don't mind me asking why don't you choose to use one of the freeware AVs? They are time tested and reliable.

I have nothing against the freeware, I might end up with the AVG. I have the PC-cillin Internet Security 2006 program and I'm curious how it works. One thing for sure, I want to dump the Nortons.

Fair enough. I was just curious.
Good luck. -------------------- "2007 & 2008 Windows Shell/User Award" |

There's a good possibilty that I'll put AVG on it. If I use a freeware for AV and firewall, is there operating instructions to use them? I downloaded Zone Lab's ZoneAlarm once and it had no setup instructions or anything. I couldn't even get off of the main page after the download was over. I guess that is one reason why I get the pay wares, since I'm not computer savvy I need the manuals to explain how to use the programs. Some of the manuals are complicated enough.
I still would like to hear some personal experiences with PC-cillin internet security 2006. My subscription runs out in a month for Norton so I'm trying to make a decision on what I'm going to do. -------------------- HP Pavillion a1723w, 820 dual-core processor, 250 G hard drive, 1 G RAM

I am currently using PC-CILLIN 2005 and have not had any problems with the program. TrendMicro has decent and free Technical Support and the programs are simple to use. I will be upgrading to the 2006 version, once I find an online promotional code !
