Well, with AVG, it updates by itself whenever there are new updates available. You know, I even thought about getting Panda...I've heard it might be the best one out there (but this was from only one person). Guess that doesnt sound so good now...I've had Norton but for some reason it wasnt allowing me to go online and people have told me Norton is a virus. I might just have to try McAFee...Thanks for replying
