[chbot] Win Anti virus

[Mark Atherton]

Thanks.

OK, will re-phrase my question...

I believe that Microsoft is dropping their own antivirus support for 
windows 7 in about three months, so I am interested in comments and 
experiences about alternate solutions.

Come to that I might even be willing to spend money of a 5-pack if the 
price was right (!)
