My girlfriend needs an antivirus suite for her laptop and we need
something good, but not Norton antivirus (we have both had nothing but
bad experiences with it). In any case, any good recommendations, price
isn't too much of an issue but something relatively cheap would be
nice, thanks.

Here's a free av which uses the Kaspersky v6 scan engine:

http://www.activevirusshield.com/antivirus/freeav/index.adp?

It lacks the proactive defense and the web protection modules
of the version 6 Kaspersky product, but it's quite good and
effective. Just don't opt for the toolbar during installation.

See my web site for a Kaspersky product link.

This looks almost too good to be true. Perhaps it is...

I've not been able to discover any problems resulting from installing
and using the AVS product. If more spam is directed my way, I'm
not seeing it, perhaps because my ISP filters it. There is no
detectable spyware installed. The notion that it's actually some sort
of undetectable rootkit is pretty far fetched, IMO. It uninstalls/
reinstalls easily and cleanly on my Win 2K machine. You can't say
that about Norton and McAfee which are the actual "too good to
be true" products which have caused users much grief :)

I saw nothing new or of any substance in that magazine article.
