free antivirus?

[James]

Currently I'm using AVG (I'm perfectly happy with it btw) but in light
of the great job the free version of Zone Alarm does, I was wondering
about the antivirus that comes bundled with it... I believe they are
charging $19.95. Would it be any better than what I currently have? In
other words, is it worth $20 to dump AVG and pay ZA for this bundle?
Thank you.

That AV is if fact eTrust, and is a very good one. Right now you can
get a years free trial of that by approaching from its site at
www.my-etrust.com/microsoft

That is a free trial of their EZArmor, and includes a licensed version
of Zone Alarm (though you might want to install only the AV and continue
with ZA free). The renewal fee I paid for just eTrust AV in May was
$9.95
