No worries! I'm using Webroot AV and AS 6 on my XP and Vista machines and am very happy. One odd thing is that I had two licenses that were upgradeable (from 5.x to 6), both deriving from the same original purchase of Spysweeper (took advantage of an offer to get a second licence), and yet one upgraded to Internet Secuity Essentials and the other to AV and AS... strange!
I'm running BitDefender on my Win2k machine. It's 'sped up' a lot since I first installed it and all seems well.

It has helped stop some of the malware my wife tries to install, so its working as it should it appears.

After a fresh install, i tried Threatfire which just created havoc.
Fortunately everything was back to normal in a flash with WinPatrol.
Now i've been looking at COMODO's free firewall and AV:

Any takers on this one? Is it low on resources? Quick to update?

did you try that out yourself Dantheman?
(I've got the same questions!)
dantheman:
Tomos,
If my memory serves me well, yes i did try it and liked it.
It seemed quite reasonable on ressources but our community has since gone to NOD32 Security with AV for the next two years so i won't be looking around for free stuff for quite a while now. ESET is exceptionally low on ressources. You hardly even notice it's there. :Thmbsup:
Can't say the same for AVG (to which we were previously subscribed to).
