Anti-Virus Protection

I could use some advice on what is a good anti-virus protection tool for ME.
I just did a complete reinstall of Windows ME and got rid of Freedom
Anti-Virus which was free from my former internet provider Adelphia. I had
a number of problems with my computer that seem to start when I installed
Freedom.

Any recommendations? Free protection would be nice but not if it causes the
problems I had with Freedom.

Thanks, Eugene

AVG is free and won't mess you up.

I have used eZ Trust from CA for eons and I will hunt down the link for
a free year's trial. I used to pay $20 per year for it and I now just
use the freebie supplied in partnership with Microsoft.

EZ Trust used to be InoculateIT PE when it was a total freebie, so I
would guess I have used it for about 6 years.

Good luck......Heather

Heather's advice is excellent!
DO NOT USE Symantec's AV tool with WinME under any circumstances.
