See also ClamAV for Windows, which is not trying to sell you a "better" version, as AVG is. AVG or ClamAV are both good. You've got nice options available. But of course the best thing you can do for Windows security is DO NOT USE INTERNET EXPLORER. Not using Outlook and/or Outlook Express is another good idea for security. XP SP2 has the firewall turned on by default, which does help with the security holes of previous versions. Be sure to keep the WindowsUpdate running with automatic updates.
