Thank you very much Charlie42 for all the information and the other
guys out there. Did you say that there is free antivirus software? I
had no idea that you could get free protection software programmes,
silly question, but why are they free?

The programs I mentioned are free for promotional reasons, mainly. By offering basic freeware antivirus, the manufacturers hope some of the downloaders will decide to buy the entire security suites they offer later on.

This does not mean the free versions are bad. They offer real time and on deman scanning and regular virus signature database updates. They do lack advanced features though, like for instance detailed configuration and scheduling.

I have another question perhaps you might be able to help me. Do
any of you guys know anything about the new speech recognition
program in vista?

That is not my area, but I suggest you top post/start a new thread since you are introducing a new topic. Your question will get better exposure that way.
