I gave up on PCGuard a long time ago, it has caused problems with all my PCs, 3 running Windows2000Pro and the forth on XP Pro. It slows them down even my latest high spec AMD 64 dual core PC, andis just not very good at detecting viruses and spyware!!!

I went back to using AVG Free AV + Spybot + Adaware (all freeware poducts) and these immediately found the malware that PCGuard had let through.

Recently I gave up on AVG AV as version 8.0 does not seem happy on my Windows2000Pro PCs. Have substituted Avast AV (free) and this is excellent!
