Agreed 100%

I asked the same question, got the same answer... no problems since I've started using it.

I've seen Grisoft around but didn't know it was free. If it's that good, why does anyone buy Norton etc, and how does Grisoft make their money?

Free version is also limited next to the paid-for one - no file disinfection for a start, it'll only let you delete or quarantine an infected file.

Will grisoft fully protect as my Norton AV? Does seem a good alternative if it does.
