To combat Y2K-related viruses, Microsoft has set up a depot for anti-virus
developers.  A 90-day free trial is offered on a dozen or so of the major
anti-virus applications.  Below is an extract from the site, and you can
check out http://www.microsoft.com/msn/y2k/antivirus/English/Default.htm


"To assist in helping small/medium businesses and consumers to deploy
anti-virus software, Microsoft has teamed with leading anti-virus firms
Central Command Inc., Computer Associates International Inc., Data Fellows
Corp., Command Software Systems, Network Associates Inc., Worldtalk Corp,
Norman ASA, Panda Software, Sophos Inc., Symantec Corp. and Trend Micro
Inc., to provide fully functional anti-virus trial software to small &
medium businesses and consumers in preparation for the Year 2000. The
anti-virus software can be downloaded free of charge from November 1 through
December 31. Once downloaded, the anti-virus software will be functional for
90 days."
