Well said, Lame - McAfee Clinic Anti-virus was the best $19.95 I ever spent! It's due for renewal this week and they'll get my $19.95 promptly, for the peace-of-mind that it gives me. It has spotted, and blocked, a couple of virus attempted attacks in its first year and worth every cent!

Only "down side" is that it takes 15-30 minutes to update (over a rather slow conection) and you can't do much in the mean-time as it seems to require quite a lot of resources while doing so (on my 450MHz, 128MbRAM machine) But I still do it every week or two, or when McAfee emails me to warn me of a new danger.
