    You might be able to find Norton for free after rebates- I have seen that several places lately.
    I add new pictures to my photo gallery pretty regularly. You can see them here if you are interested: http://www.pbase.com/jeffryz

    McAfee has a free, stand alone scanner available - http://vil.nai.com/vil/averttools.asp

    Just download it & run the executable to scan your drive. Very handy for cleaning infected machines that have no scanner installed.
