[Wolves] NOD32

[Chris Maggs]

I've got ClamWin on my parents XP machine and I must admit it's the
best antivirus I've ever tried for Windows (IMHO!)  Easy to use and
keeps pretty quiet unless something happens :)

On a side note, a friend uses McAfee and it's increased her boot time
from just over a minute to a few seconds shy of 5 minutes and that's
on a 1.4 XP box with 256 meg of RAM!

I don't use an antivirus on my Linux box; does anyone else bother?
