Thanks!  I downloaded it.  If and when those popups start, I'll
install it.  I used AVIRA some years back.  I think those popups and
other intrusive crap was why I left it.  It's sad when a program
like that gets such great ratings on the Comparative site and screws
it up with extraneous garbage.   However, so far I've had no popups
or other intrusive junk.

My NOD32 Smart Suite is on its way back to Amazon.  Had they gotten
the order right, I'd be trying the NOD32.

That's exactly what I did with Kaspersky.  I'll use it to double
check AVIRA when needed. (I paid for the dang thing, I might as well
get some use out  of it.)

I have it in the bullpen just in case.  :o)
