Actually, Windows XP with no Service Packs, has a limit of 127GB, or 137 billion bytes (they're the same).  And you only need SP1 for that not to be the case anymore.

avg is good but we have better products out there. if u wish to try a free one try avast or bitdefender 8. if u really need a good antivirus, try nod 32. its just 11 mb for down load nd only has 2 processes when active. check the free trial at www.eset.com

Brilliant!!\nAVG - 9/10\nAvast - 7.5/10(looks stylish but eats into your virtual memory)\nComodo - 6/10\nBitDefender - 7.5/10(no real time protection shield)\nAOL Active Virus Shield - 8/10(over advertised, again eats into your virtual memory)

I running a Pentium 3 with 256 MB of ram.\nI'm a big Nortons fan. I recently switched from 2003 to 2006. The program is too big like they said. So I went back to the 2003. It runs smooth as silk. I've had it since it came out. The only reason I switched was my dad bought 2006 and I used his disk. I bet one of your friends has the 2003. It wont cost you a dime to load it. It takes about an hour to update it the first time. There's three years worth of updates. After that no worries. I believe it's called Nortons Personal Firewall 2003. I love my Nortons 2003. Let me just add that I get zero pop ups, none at all. Nortons kills them all. \n.

what are the specs for the systen ? OS and such amount of memory?\nsome malware/spyware can slow you down to all be damned use a good free anti virus and anti-spyware suite and speed can return!\ntry bitdefender free for antivirus.\nNorton can slow a system almost to a standstill as it is very resource intenseive

Simply add more ram.\n256 less than adequate.\n512 adequate\n1gig plus is ideal

When u install an anti virus software, it resides in the primary memory(RAM). So the RAM space gets reduced & hence the system slows down.\n\nJust imagine u build a divider too wide on a road, obviously the road width decreases & the traffic moves slowly than before. Same is the case here.

McAfee has the latest Internet Security that includes \nVirusScan \nPersonal Firewall Plus \nSpamKiller \nPrivacy Service \nIs the 2006 one and is only 49.99 dollars, its worth. I also wanted free software protection, but did never found a good one, the only free ones, they don't do a sh-it, because they are free. But please do install it, just you will pay on time in one year. Try it!

I prefer Trend Micro. Norton caused me a lot of hangs and crashes. McAfee doesn't update as fast as Trend Micro when a new virus hits the street.\n\nAVG is the best free one.

If you don't want to download and install a new firewall, I would go with the one that comes with SP2.\n\nIf you do, there are many options:\n\nZoneAlarm is very popular, but it slows down old computers.\n\nWindows OneCare Live beta is very new, and includes  virus protection as well as automated backup. However, it is a beta and might have bugs.\n\nKerio firewall is pretty good, I can't think of any cons.\n\nOutpost is supposed to be ok as well.

Rip Norton out of your system.. NOW. Norton allocates all non used system resources to itself thus making it a major resource hog. I suggest Trend Micro (that is what I use on my enterprise network) and have had no problems across a 200+ node domain.

No, I recommend Symantec Firewall/Anti-Virus, Ad Aware SE, System Mechanic and maybe Spy Doctor.  Some catch most, but all it takes is one bad virus or malware etc....

Norton Internet Security 2006 will "do it all", but it consumes a lot of your computers resources (ram memory).  But for most casual users - it doesn't matter.  Don't let that part put you off.  I've been using Norton for 3 yrs and it works great for me. \n\nThere are also many free programs out there that work but you will have to do research and ...  in the end it sounded like you want something simple.  let me know how it goes...   dixlexicsd@hotmail.com

As two other people have pointed out, AVG is great and free.\n\nJust stay away from Symantec --it slows down your computer tremendously.
