Virus's

If you're like me, you hate finding a virus on you're prized PC. As well, you're always interested in finding out latest ways of protecting your investment. So, listed below are some of the best sites I've found for both anti-virus software, and for finding out about a virus you've run across. Just remember that virus software is constantly upgraded to keep up with new threats...it is up to you to keep the software up to date!

Now, if we only had a way of finding and dealing with the pond-scum-sucking twits who write these damn things...

Note: for the software marked free, not all of the products offered by the vendor are free (they have to make a living!), but a base version is available free-of-charge as of this writing (April 20, 2004).
