Hi Jim,

Quick Reply here, for now, from me, as I am on the fly, so hopefully this might get you started --->>> http://www.av-comparatives.org/

I believe more folks than not would tell you that AVG is "better" than CA, BUT (and this is my big BUTT), it really is all relative...and the bottom line really is this:

Whatever it is, whatever we (you) choose, it simply "MUST" work for our (for your) machine(s), and it "MUST" work for us (for you, sir).

I should be able to return in fairly short order . . .

Best,
glenn . . .
