    Not sure if this has been posted already, Panda will be giving away their anti virus product to protect you for a year free of charge to celebrate Windows 7 launching, More info here..
    Although there are plenty of free av suites out there, sub for this one for a year seems to be $50, for those interested, its free on the 22nd, I persume Irish people will be able to avail, see nothing on the page to state otherwise

    Not the best product IMO. The problem is that uninstalling it is next to impossible. It may have improved in the last year, or so, but it used to require expert knowledge to get rid of it. I'd never touch it again.

    Panda's detection rates are crap. I know it's free, but this is people's computers (and sometimes livelyhoods) we're talkin about. Best stay away.

    I've been trialing Microsofts new A/V suite called Security Essentials and it seems to be doing quite a good job. It's free to boot.

    Me too, and so far I have to say I am also impressed. First they do a good job of Windows 7 and now they have a decent free antivirus suite! I can't believe Microsoft are actually doing things right! :)

    Now they just need to get a GOOD console out that doesn't fry itself out when you open the drive tray.....

    Windows 7 looks like its gonna be a hit. Kind of like XP which is now gonna slowly fade away.

    Strangely enough I feel happy for them.
