I am a big fan of AVG Free...and yes its free
 Other great AV software is kapersky, nod32, but am not 100% sure they will work on 98 or not. -------------------- Lawrence

Hi DebMarieGreene
If you are going to buy ,I recommend Panda AV If you want free I recommend Avast as many folk in this forum use it. and there are a few other good choices here in this Bleepingcomputer article: See the 3rd pinned item Virus and Malware Resources. There is also a Tutorial to remoe Norton: see first pinned. http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/forums/forum25.html Cool I see Grinler just posted some advice at the same time This post has been edited by boopme: Jan 4 2006, 03:04 PM -------------------- Can you spare some PC cycles to help FIND A CURE ..

My advice is not necessarily right though
AV software is very much a personal preference
