Me again...

I have, for a while, had the luxury of being provided with a monthly
update of Sophos Sweep. This will shortly come to an end, and I must
find a replacement Virus checker.

I need a replacement which, like Sophos, is memory resident and checks
all files as they are accessed. are they all much of a muchness?

I have a free copy of Trend Micro's PC Cillin, provided by my on-line
bank  - is that worth the candle?

I'm also a registered user of InoculateIT Personal Edition, though I've
never bothered to install it. I gather it's no longer free to new
registrants, but is to those already registered. Is it any good?

I'm using Win98SE
