I have an 8 year old computer running Windows XP Home Edition 2002, with 1gb RAM…I know ![]()
I was wondering what the best anti-virus would be for an older computer, memory wise (also half-decent).
Avast used 25k-30k of memory.
ESET NOD 32 used 55k of memory!
That’s all I’ve jotted down. Please leave suggestions


You can choose SpyNoMore.
As we all know Computer hackers seeking financial gain rather than thrills or notoriety are increasingly flooding the Internet with malicious software code (spyware, adware, key loggers, trojans). They are infecting computers with highly sophisticated programs that record surfing habits, bank passwords and other key financial data and send them to crooks over the Internet. These programs can be hard to spot, disguised in downloads such as toolbars, search engines, browser accessories, screen savers and other seemingly helpful utilities.
