I went to one of the BCS (British Computer Society) meetings a few 
months ago and they were handing out copies of NIS 2009. A chunk of the 
CD is doing sterling service filling a gap in the leg of the dining-room 
table.

Problem + piece of otherwise useless junk = solution.

I've been using AVG for a while, but even that isn't perfect. At this 
point, I've adopted the "Just Use Linux" philosophy. So far that's 
working pretty well for me (I've got a VirtualBox VM set up to run the 
Altera Quartus development software and MPLAB).

Even the film scanner and my old Wacom A6 ArtPad work fine... no "x64 
drivers are not available for this device" bull-crap. (I've got one of 
the older-generation MPLAB ICD2 hockey-pucks which only works on x32)
