If one is looking for "El Cheapo AV for Windoze", I'd suggest looking
at the triple (I think? Too much wine already (unlike most, Xmas Eve
is the Big Day, here in Sweden... So today is kind of "the day
before"... Getting the tree in order (the bl**dy lights not working...
talk about HW problem:) and all), so everything with a grain of
salt... (If you
ve followed my use of parenthesis so far, you should be programming
lisp;)): AVG, Nod32 (not sure about this, check their site) and lastly
Antivir (http://www.free-av.com). At least the last contain on demand
as well as on access scanning.

A slightly lopsided Merry Xmas!
