I have a similar situation as well. My mom just bought
herself an HP/Compaq Presario, which came preloaded with
a 60 day trial version of NIS 2005 Anti Spyware Edition.
While I like the relative simplicity and intuitiveness
of the firewall rules it creates, I'm not too thrilled
with the tendency for NIS to be a resource hog, nor the
high price they want for an annual subscription ($39.95).
It expries on January 28, 2006, and I think I will be
looking for a similar package, or put Zone Alarm Free,
Avast and MS Antispyware on it. It already has Spyware
Blaster, and my mom is primarily going to be using
Firefox 1.5 as the browser of choice. Avast has an
auto update function, but I don't know about ZAF or MSAS.
