[Vwdiesel] [Vwdiesel AVG

[Dave Cook]

This is what I use, on a once tip-of-the-day on the Kim Kommando radio show:
http://www.avast.com/

There is a free version, though the link isn't always immediately obvious.

I've never had an issue with system slowing, etc.  Nothing like my dad's computer running Norton or some crappy one he paid for.
