Xp Sp2

I think it’s alright... It did make me notice my antivirus is out of date! Any suggestions?

Update your antivirus, subscribe to your antivirus for another year, or go out and buy a new antivirus. You can try to find a free antivirus online. My uncle uses Avast! from Alwil Software. It seems to work okay. I think the latest version has a built in firewall as well, but you can disable it.

I had Norton but he seems to make everything run super slow. I was thinking of uninstalling that crap and getting MacAfee. I just want the best antivirus to protect my babies!

My experience with Norton had the same results. I like Trend Micro.

Where can I get Trend Micro? Can I pick it up at Staples?
