Is there a free program out there that i can get? My computer is so slow and freezes up all the time .I can also no longer run the scan disk and or defrag it .When i am online it sounds like the computers is making popcom, it just is making all kinds of noise and is really slow.

my choice would be Active Virus Shield (ANTIVIRUS - eventhough it is from KASPERSKY model it is one of the best and FREE editions where it can be used 1 year along with hourly updates and it is compatable on almost all the windows OS) U can also use AVAST Antivirus (free edition) Spybot Search and Destroy (or) Adaware SE Continue using the ZONEALRM firewall

I am using the Antivira AntiVir Classic Edition which is a free antivirus software. It comes with a free update everyday. So better try this one. It easily detects virus.

hello puretor, what you can do for your computer is look for the free antivirus but not heavy antivirus. Like Norton it is heavy to run with old model computer. Look for avast and avira this is most people use for their old model computer. Only small space need to install. Try to format and install using windows 98 or ME. I thinks XP also heavy to load for old model cmputer.
