Hi John, I recently replied to this thread and warned about the risk in changing AV, I avoided marketing our site. However, in light of you testing so many products I wonder if you'd take the time to rate and review the products you tested on our website here http://www.networkintrusion.co.uk/index.php/component/mtree/Content-Protecti on/Anti%252DVirus.html Thereby sharing your thoughts with the rest of the community Cheers!
