Quick question about anti-virus



Hi,

I know this is the wrong forum but I've found people here helpful in
answering questions quickly!

My friend has a PC (yeh, bad news, I know! I converted to a Mac last
year and have never looked back).

Anyway, she wants to now get on the 'net so needs antivirus/firewall
etc. I want to install it this morning. Cost not an issue, but what is
best? She has a 90 day trial version of Norton AV etc already
installed, but this has expired.

So, what anti-virus:-

- works fine, with little/no user requirements? i.e. it just sits
there nicely without the user hardly knowing etc

- is very easy (please) to install

I'm not a 'techie', but when I had a PC I had Norton installed and it
seemed to be more problem than it was worth. I 'converted' in the end
to AVG Free and it was great. Is AVG Free still available? Any other
options, either free or paid for?

Thanks, Mark.
