[Ham-Computers] Antivirus Software Comments

[Ed - K9EW]

I subscribe to an online "Windows Secrets" magazine, and they speak
highly of it.  It's quite small, very inconspicuous, doesn't take over
your PC, and I've been using it for about a month with no problems on
my two XP machines.

I know we're always suspicious of a Microsoft product, but this one
looks like a keeper.
