Re: Gimp Windows Installer failure - amendment

If you insist on paying for an anti-virus program I suppose you could
do so.

I've used AVG's free AV software for years, and love it. I install it
on every friend's PC who asks my opinion, gladly killing off Norton
and McAfee. 

Between AVG and the Zone Alarm (also free) firewall, I'm amply protected.

That, and I stay away from Russian pRon sites..
