I have used
kaspersky anti virus lite for 2 years now, it has intercepted and eradicated all but the jet homepage hijack, which it couldn't fully remove from the niggly windows ME restore folder. I had to manually turn off restore to purge the folder. I now use KAV in conjunction with
spybot which removed jets registry entries. It is a superb program, but you really need to read the instructions before you let it eradicate stuff. It is free. I like free stuff. Mmmmm free stuff. The Zone Alarm freebie has been my firewall, and all three programs run smoothly under ME.
I also have ad-aware v6, which is good, but not quite as effective as spybot. Me, paranoid? While I'm plugging all the kewl free stuff I must mention

Speaking of free, NE 1 know where I can get a free m-jpeg codec? I have a trial Morgan Media codec, but they want $20 after 60 days. Mmmm free stuff. I'm still looking for a good auto cleaner, I have Internet Cleanup V2, which works ish, but it's a bit pedantic, and misses stuff. Wow, that sounds like a description of me working in the cabin......
