A simple search will provide you a lot of answers ... I use Avast.

I've used both OneCare 1.5 and TrendMicro's Pc-cillin.

I like em both and haven't noticed slowdowns with either.

Interesting. I tried downloading OneCare but it wouldn't let me. Didn't
like the Windows Vista I'm running.

You need to make sure you get the 1.5 Beta which is Vista compatible.

i really like OneCare... in fact, my experience is that my pc is much faster
than when I used Norton.
