hello OCN
so I'm stuck using this ancient laptop for this internship thing and I can't afford another anyways....it's like a single core 1.6ghz dell with 256mb of RAM and like a 30gig hard drive. Basically its ancient but today I added a gig or RAM to it so now its 1 1/4 and it basically does the job and I can't risk it getting bad because of viruses. I installed Microsoft Security Essentials on it and was about to install avast when i realized I don't want it using too much of the physical memory since I have to run like 3-4 programs at the same time and special software. So which antivirus (anti spyware, malware, worms, trojans etc. ) does the job fairly well and will use little physical memory?....i want the computer to be safe...and it has to be free
sorry but yeah....
Thanks in advance!
