Avast! End of thread.

Of course, you could bung Ubuntu Linux on it and never have to worry. I use it on my NC10 and it's top notch.

Everything works, no need to struggle with drivers, even my T-Mobile dongle works flawlessly.

I got this from brighthub,

Since you're probably going to use your netbooks mostly for mobile browsing, it is all the more susceptible to virus attacks. The Internet is hazardous to your netbook's health. And, to avoid getting attacked by viruses, malwares, and other online threats, your best bet is to install an anti-virus program. AVG Anti-Virus Free Edition 8.0 is your best bet for putting an anti-virus software on your netbook without spending a dime.

AVG Anti-Virus Free Edition 8.0 protects your Windows system against adware, identity theft, spyware, and most viruses. The best thing about this software is the fact that it does its job without affecting your system's performance and won't cause your netbook to hang-up while you're working.

u can't understand how this free one can be as good as a paying version and all the paying ones still sell products?

anyway, there are plenty of cheap ones out there now, £20 a year etc.

The free ones are quite excellent.

What you tend to get with the paid for versions is technical assistance and maybe documentation/installation discs.

Alos, don't forget that the free versions are normally for home users. For business/corporate use you should be paying.

In fact, compared to Norton or McCaffee, the free Avast! is a million miles better than the ones that cost money.
