i'm just curious what antivirus software you guys use. i get mcafee virusscan enteprise free from my university, and was wondering if there is another free app that might be better.

Discussed 10000x times before. Use the search function.

my apologies.

edit: btw, for anyone else's reference, after a quick search, this is the thread i found. exactly what i was looking for. again, sorry.

Oh my, it's just more fun to discuss oneself and it's very hard for non-native speakers to read those long old threads. There's always a 500+ posts long time member saying "This has already been discussed sooooooooo often."
Sorry Garf, I had to say this once.

well, considering that garf is paying for the webspace here (iirc), i assume he has the right to discourage superfluous threads.

No, you can discuss all you want (certainly so in off-topic!), but you will find more answers with the search function.

I mean, I (and, I assume, most people) am going to reply once to this question, and perhaps twice if I have new info, but after the third, fourth one, I won't be bothered any more.
