That's the anti virus software that I use too.  My last isp had a link to them.
Once in a while if it's been too long since you've upgraded you Inoculate
software, you get a reminder when booting up your computer I think it was.  I
think this is a good company, and it seems soemwhat ideal for people using Chess
programs because it doesn't eat up your computer's resources, you can update it
regularly, _and_, it's free.
