[PrintOwners] anti virus and spyware-Geek approved

[Steve Blatman]

Larry,

I'm sure AVG is a very good product. I'm sure your MIT Computer 
Science friend's recommendations are those of a well-informed user.

I and a number of others here who do their own IT work have found a 
different solution. Should you decide to look into alternatives, 
consider NOD32 (from www.eset.com) for virus protection and 
Spysweeper (www.webroot.com) for spyware protection. They work well 
together, both are available as "enterprise" versions with 
administrator consoles that run on your server, and, so far, they 
haven't even missed a "first day" problem.

And, if it matters, I, too, hold Bachelor's degrees (EE and Biology) 
from MIT.

Steve

> 
> Also learned that Norton anti virus was the main reason why our computers run so slow.  One of my geek friends r/r his OS twice a year, but we obviously don't want to do that.
> 
> Removed Norton, installed AVG.   Faster PC's.  Homework is done on this issue for us.
