~ No More Viruses ~
There are four ways to avoid viruses that are better even than free AVG with Spybot Search & Destroy combo I have recommended (and still recommend highly).
1. Use a Mac. While expensive, it will save you in the long run from service calls and/or reloading your operating system.
2. Use Linux. From this point forward, for people who are casual computer users or internet only, and who already have a PC, I will be recommending a Linux install, either to replace current OS or to dual boot for internet usage. (yes it has become that user-friendly)
3. Browse in a sandbox. Why it took me so long to discover a free app to do this, I don't know, but allow me in the (more) section to introduce you to it.
4. Use Vista. This is a trick answer. You must use the Guest account on Vista. Whatever you do on that logon will be erased and the account will reappear brand new and unused when you login to it again!
