Softpedia posted today a small review of three anti-virus software that are free to use, complete with screenshots. Consider using Microsoft's or Adaware's anti-spyware utilities too to keep your XP healthy.

I find it amusing when people think AV software is actually any good at stopping viruses; it's even more amusing when people think using such things is a necessity of computing.

1. How are they not good at stopping viruses? AV software finds, disinfects/deletes, and tada: stopped.

2. Who thinks they are a necessity of computing? They are a necessity of using Windows on the internet with some degree of convenience; not computer use in general.
