i use ad aware, i think it's good for catching registry keys gone bad and programs running hidden in your processes. avg is good for catching actual files on your system which are corrupted. so if you have two u have the best of both worlds.

can you elaborate on why you don't like ad-aware, i'd personally like to know, maybe it's time for me to get some new soft =]

I stumbled across Active Virus Shield.

Yes, it is branded as AOL, but from what I read, they just threw their logo on there as product placement.

Best part? FREE!

Hey, this has helped me out too... especially since I'm having WWIII with this crap at the moment, thanks all.

EDIT: AVS won't work with AVG... so that's a no go...

[Drum Thumper]

FWIW, AVS is giving me hell at the moment...so maybe it's not all that it's touted as...I'm in the middle of reinstalling, and if this doesn't work, I'm gonna call it a night and deal with it tomorrow.

I've found AVG to be quite reliable, so that's what I'm going to stick with... and I have ZoneAlarm going, so I don't really need to much more at the moment...

[luciusad2004]

Yeah, my family has been using AVG for a while now so thats one of the first things i always install.

[xRyokenx]

Yeah, my dad found it, so I've been using it, it works quite well, and I've also been using Spybot and AdAware for a while, my neighbor told me about them, and I've recently installed a few other things, but I believe I've mentioned them before...

Its a John Deere 9620. Same model that my becomes my dad's 'daily driver' for a few months every year.

I've operated it as well, and it handles nice as far as JD tractors go. 500 HP and 1200 ft/lb of torque for some serious ground breaking (literally!) power.
