Folks,

I've used AVG with Thunderbird RC 1 on WinXP with good results. Don't
know about the pgp signatures as I haven't installed it on the laptop
yet. My guess is it would work well.

You can get the free version of AVG here....

Their new product includes a firewall and virus scanner which seems to
be where the market is going from my vantage point. 

Each email has a small signature on the bottom like Brian said. Other
than that it isn't very intrusive. 

That's my .02 ! :)

Cheers,

Thomas
