Anti Virus Info Page
Antivirus software is a must have on today's Internet ready PC. When it comes to getting a virus on your machine the old adage of " it's not a matter of if but when" has never been more true. As an Internet helpdesk tech, I talk to people everyday dealing with these menaces of the Internet. On this page I've listed many good resources for learning about the threats they pose as well as tools for removing them from your computer. This will be a work in progress so check back often.

download a new antivirus program I've evaluated and give a big thumbs up to. I
totally agree with the company's philosophy of why they provide this software
for free. To fight the growing problem of viruses, each PC owner must take
responsibility for securing their own computer or network. Alwil sees this
battle won at the individual PC level so they've provided this software free to
homeowners.
If you're skeptical of freebie software like I am, check out this review of Avast 4 Home Edition and some of its competitors by PCWorld.
