    Hi -

    I am currently reformatting my HD and reinstalling XP - however I'd like to have the reinstallation secure from the getgo. Thanks.

    You can read what I did (Vista, but should be XP-able, too) on my website.

    Or you could search anti-virus in this forum to get many more results. There are other posts like this, so they might be of more help because they are pretty much clones of each other.

    Nizzy i suggest you switch over to comodo when they release their vista compatible version in a little while. Comodo is better than zone free because there was a comparison website and it showed that Zonealarm free was good, but not as good as comodo. Also when did zone alarm release a vista safe version of free? I thought they were still working on it.
