Comment:
I was wondering if anyone could recommend a good free anti-virus program. I find that Macafee and Norton really bogs down ones system and I dont really want to pay any money for these. What I'm looking for needs to be windows Vista compatable as well.

Thanks

I too use AVG but some folk claim Avast is better. You will get many opinions so googling for test results would be worthwhile.
