    wildman if you can sort your stack issue out and get e trust promo and the update drivers ( as above in my link ) you will not be disapointed . This is not the same as EZ . I tried EZ once but found it to be a drag . I am on dial up also as I live coastal . The dual engines are InnoculateIT and Vet and are more than likely adequate for all you need . You may want to clean up your system and defrag etc and try again with the above link . The download should only take about 50 minutes on dial up / 56k . You might need to unload any other anti virus that might be taking up room first and boot a few times so that your system is tidy . regarding the performance of Vet and innoculateIT it has more VB 100 awards than all the free ones put together . In fact it has more than most of the paid ones. there will always be tests that include the kitchen sink that will say it doesnt do this or that , but then what does in this day . If you need to add an AT /malware scanner as well download e scan free to use as an ondemand once a week . these two will give you excellent protection.Far better than most paid . And it will be the lightest AV you have tried to date.

    ;) Thank you, it is obvious that you are a gentleman, but as I said, I give up on this entire situation an will now take my chances. This does not mean that I am entirely unprotected by the way, I do have other security programs installed. I may still utilize AntiVir/PE an try to obtain the updates on the weekend only.

    Thanks

    I, too, highly recommend the ETrust promo. I recently went back to it again after fooling around with a bunch of other antivirus programs. I just like the ETrust v7. I didn't have to download it, have it saved to CD along with a bunch of others. It's a great program and I recommend it highly.

    Solarpowered Candle -- has there been any upgrade to the engines? I'm running the old 7.0.139, the one I originally downloaded. The update automatically, but only the virus signature, I guess. I no longer have the URL to manually download anything.

    If you go to http://www.excid.com/faq/?id=1&language=en then look "update antivirus " on left side of page. This will take you to a download that will update your drivers. You just need to download and load it up . It will automatically update the drivers for e trust v7 to the latest version.

    I just installed etrust promo and updated it and along with the def updates it also updated the drivers to the current versions without manually having to download the drivers separately .
