What is Digg?3 Comments

It always makes me shudder when I get someone's computer to clean up, after they've assured me that they have all the best anti-whateverware installed, only to find that none of them have been updated in months. argh.
One thing I noticed in the comments area of the article was that some didn't seem to know that AVG purchased ewido and now offers a free (for personal use) anti-spyware as well as their free anti-virus. I've been running it for a couple of weeks now and it seems to do a good job (it's unobtrusive and updates automatically...haven't had any spyware for it to find, so I can't speak for how well it handles that part). http://free.grisoft.com/doc/20/lng/us/tpl/v5
Also, there is a new security suite from eEye that is also free for personal use. I haven't tried it yet, but did download it.
