This may not technically be ISP news but seeing as so many of our readers use it then it's worth pointing towards today’s imminent release of AVG FREE v8.0.

This is one of the best free anti-virus solutions and the latest code incorporates anti-spyware features into the mix, not to mention improved performance:

Naturally those wanting to secure their computers against viruses, which should be EVERYBODY, can also check out some of the alternatives:

Avast!

Typically you mileage may vary and each has its pro's and con's. For example, I always found AVG to be quite demanding on slower systems but on the other hand its update servers are always fast. By comparison AntiVir is faster but its update servers are very poor.
