Hi all,
I have begun the painstaking process of upgrading the software side of my sim from WinXP/FS9 to Win7/FSX 64bit.

I am looking for recommendations on Antivirus/Firewall programs. All I'll be doing on the system is Flying online, and FSX related connections and Win7/Microsoft required updates/connections.

I have full versions of McAfee VirusScan Plus, and Symantec End Point Protection 12.1 but would prefer to not have the system overhead.

I would also prefer the package to free if possible.

Any ideas would be appreciated!

Warren

Microsoft Security Essentials. Free, light and effective.
