Suggests you need a licence for kaspersky something or other (1 year is included in the box).

Just that the majority of viruses out there are designed to target PC's not Macs, so I feel safer.

Right, I am now using a trial version of the pay-for version of AVG. I know I am probably an idiot for it, but I feel a lot safer if I am paying for the software than I would if I was using free stuff. So far so good, it does not appear to be taxing the system very much and I quite like the control panel.
My internet use on myCo's laptop is not in the slightest bit risky (I have a different desktop for the, er, more interesting stuff) and I have never had any problems for the a/v software to intercept, so it is not going to be that easy to compare the different packages.
