Well I've given Avast a test run for the last day on my lad's PC
and it seems to be better as far as browser speed goes compared
to AVG.
Another issue worth mentioning, I installed two completely separate
'net nanny' type packages on his PC, only to find AVAST found
a known trojan in both self extracting EXEs....Nice one!
Good one AVAST, you have my attention!
Thanks again for the suggestions people!
