I went thru this drill a few months ago when my McAfee subscription
expired and the new version wouldn't load on my home network's domain
controller (win2K advanced server). I downloaded eval copies from
several manufacturers' websites and tried them until I found one I was
happy with. I finally went with the Bitdefender 8.
Disclaimer: there are several more good companies that I either could
not find/access their site quickly, there was no eval software, or I
wasn't interested enough in what I saw on their website to download
their eval copy. Also, the prices are from the manufacturer's website
and may be available cheaper from other sources.
When you pick one, be sure to download the eval copy and make sure it
will install and run.

Sorry, you're not looking in the right place then. As ISP's have
*ABSOLUTLY NOTHING* to do with usenet. Those are rules for thier OWN
customers. The authority that runs Usenet is totally seperate from ANY
ISP. In reality, alt. groups, are not really even usenet. They are an
ALTernate to usenet.
