Whats the best anti-virus software for a old computer?
Okay, I’m going to give my VERY old PC to my cousin because he has no computer but has a wireless router (He will haft to buy a wireless adapter for it though)
Heres the specs:
667mhz intel celeron
128MB of RAM
1MB Video RAM on some crappy card
10GB hard drive
I know the specs suck, so I need something that will work on it. He usually downloads tones of viruses and free music and w/e, so I need to get strong protection. I WAS thinking norton 2009 gamers edition because it only uses 6MB of RAM and low CPU, but IDK.
NOTE: The OS That I’m going to put on it is: Windows XP performance edition (Professional, SP3, all patches)
