Any recommendations for a half decent anti-virus package ? I was using AVG 7.5 free but it is now kaput . I've heard bad reports about AVG 8.5 slowing puters down quite a bit .

FWIW I use NOD32, and haven't had any problems with it (but its not free).

I've heard the same thing about AVG sucking up resources and slowing down the system

AVG 7.5 was the version that made me decide I no longer wanted AVG! I switched over to avast! & have been happy with it. It picked up stuff that AVG never did & even some stuff Norton didn't from back when I used that. Yep, avast! get's my vote!
