You know what?  There's not a whole lot to recommend SAM over Gate and Dis.
SAM does the same as both of the two you currently have, and it has some nice
password protection.  You can get updates on viruses over the phone (they also
send update cards to all registered users).  OTOH, I'm not too sure that it's
worth all the money.  Granted, it's not all THAT expensive, but it's more than
free (for Gate and Dis).  Also, SAM is not as user-friendly as Dis.
