Default More AV talk

I used to like AVG, but have ran into serveral instances where it had a fight with a virus and won the battle, but lost the war. Afterwards, odd things would happen, like Outlook Express wouldn't open, the system would take a long time to boot, etc. I have found nothing that completly stops the WinAntiVirusPro virus, but at least Trend stopped most of it when it tried to jump on my machine from a web site. It only took about 30 minutes to get rid of it completely before I rebooted my machine. Luckily, Norton was installed on a couple of machines I got in recently. It didn't stop the virus, but by showing the scanning of outgoing email, I at least knew what was happening.
