AVG Anti-Virus Protection
Great protection, great features...I especially like the "check on boot" option, and the fast response to any questionable file.

Dimension 4
Great time-sync proggie...although you may want to cut off the "run at boot" feature, I found it annoying. Does a great job, still!
