Avast! is free for home use, including all updates. :)

Sadly, it's still WEP because of the Wii doesn't support WPA.  Soon, there
will be a wire run out to the living room (under the floor in the basement)
and the wireless will be WPA-PSK.  But I've not had a problem here; the BBS
is the sole machine that's "on" all the time.  The laptops are
off and there's really nothing of any "value" on the BBS to look
at. :)  I have been meaning to set up the internal OS/2 firewall, but so
little time...

Don't even know what that is/was. :P
