Now to further convince you.......the above message was at the bottom of
the gardening comics e-mail I sent you, because EVERYTHING I send to
EVERYONE I send to MYSELF. Insuring that it's virus free.

Madgardener,
In my humble opinion, and that of computer magazines, AVG is not the best
free antivirus available.
In a test of about 50 anti-virus programmes, Antivir came came top of the
free versions scoring 80% whilst AVG scored about 68%
the link to antivir is as follows
http://free-av.com/

However as new viruses/ viri are being written almost weekly, antivirus
software is always behind, until a virus is known about tracing software or
"definitions cannot be written to check for it.
there are a number of free online scans including at www.symantec.com
Hope this helps,
Other free software is available at www.majorgeeks.com look about half way
down page for top ten downloads)
including spybot search and destroy
adaware se personal edition ( not to be confused with adware)
