Thanks--

I started looking into NOD32. Remember -- I need something that
comes with a firewall too. I remember, in the days when Code Red
came out, how, at work, our HP printers with IP addresses were
spitting out reams of paper, because the Code Red virus was
contacting them, as if they were computers. We called HP, and
they were actually able to update the firmware over the Internet.
Someone at work, actually wrote a UNIX script to detect every time
Code Red tried to contact a UNIX box.

I tried to write one in VB, but was less successful (I'm no
expert).

I have heard good things about Comodo.

Also I used the one from sygate for years with no problems.
Make sure that you use a router with built-in firewall(you'll be
better off).
