Anybody have opinions on this anti-virus software and service provided for free by computer associates?

I'm using a win2000 system and need to add protection, but, I don't know anything about this. I've always used norton anti-virus, but they always tap you for update costs.....

Free from CA, any opinions/users?

thanks

very good free AV program with frequent signature updates, 1 click autoupdate. One drawback is that there is no automatic email scan but Hey its free.

I think it's one of the best.

I wouldn't even consider some of the AV softwares like McAfee for instance.

Yahoo! web base email uses Norton AV for scanning email.

I use it and really like it. If I wasn`t using it, I would use Norton. Forget Mcafee`s junk.

I use it as well, and it indeed does check your emails...or at least it has caught several virus that were sent to me via email.
