and the next guy swears by NOD32, the guy after that swears by AVAST,
the next fellow won't use anything but
AVG.... heck, I tried AVG and didn't like it one bit. also didn't like
McAfee (besides, I onced worked for them, in software testing...
LOL!). NIS2007 works well for me in Vista, yet it's a dog in XP (keeps
the HD busy for much too long after a bootup). different strokes. I
always take reviews with a large dose of salt.

My criteria includes adequate protection from viruses and malware, AND,
equally important, unintrusive behavior. I don't like seeing a window
pop up from the virus checker, during boot up. Scanning should take
place in the background, and not place an undue burden on the pc while
doing so. NIS2007 does well in that regard, in Vista. With a 3 seat
license for $30 (on sale), I consider it a good deal. However, I'm not
gonna sit here and claim it's the right product for every user.
