Im looking for an all in one program to keep my computer safe. Im using Windows XP. If their isnt an all in one free program, than can you please mention some other free programs that will help protect my computer from everything. Also they would have to be compatible programs. Thank You.
I have "Spy Guard 2008" on my computer (I do believe it’s malicious spyware stuff) and I need to get rid of it and it’s components. I want to BUY a top notch virus cleaner/protector for WINDOWS XP. I haven’t had a paid subscription to virus protection for a couple years now. I need something spectacular that will clean my computer and protect me.
Should I buy Norton or McAfee? Which versions? Or is there something else out there that would fit my situation? Please be honest, and I appreciate your help! 
PS-
I think the one I have installed on my computer is McAfee, but it hasn’t been renewed since I first bought my computer.
Any sites that have to do with virus protection WON’T LOAD! It keeps saying "page error"….what does this mean?!?!
Tried installing the search and destroy spyware…got this message:
"error sending request.
a connection with the server could not be established."
Please email me at zzzonkout@aol.com for any more info if you already answered the question
Well, let’s get it to the point, no spammage crap please.

i have tried anti virus, disk cleanup, cleaning registry, and my laptop still runs slow, it’s pretty old.
what should i do?
i use my laptop to play games such as "GunZ:The Duel" should i just end up selling the laptop and buy a newer one, or get more RAM for my current laptop?
My PC is 4 years old and still runs very well. It’s a Dell Dimension 2300 Windows XP. Printer is included.It has wireless internet, no viruses ( I never downloaded music onto it), up to date virus protection, not slow performance and hardly ever freezes. How can I sell it & is that safe to do? Can I use ebay, amazon ,any ideas?
I just bought a used computer
it’s a 2003 windows XP pro
i keep getting reminders at each start up that my anti-virus software may be out of date

so how do i update avast?
do i uninstall it and the download a new version? or what?
its an older model compaq armada running off windows xp if that help or makes a difference.
A couple of months ago, my younger brother visited and used my laptop while he was here. Since then, I’ve unnsuccessfully tried to take all of the adware and spyware off of my computer. It worked for a while, but now this is just getting ridiculous. I downloaded Windows Live Care antivirus software on my desktop, and it cleaned all of the virus’s off. I want to get it on my laptop, but I don’t have Windows XP Service Pack 2 installed. I’ve got my computer set so that it automatically updates everything, but still no service pack. I went to the windows update site using IE, but it comes up with an error message. Here’s the exact message, maybe you can decipher it:
[Error number: 0x80248015] "The website has encountered a problem and cannot display the page you are trying to view. The options provided below might help you solve the problem."
I also cannot search Google or get onto certain sites or click on certain links while using Firefox. These work in IE, but then I get bombarded with pop-ups.
I need to be able to get updates on this laptop, and I need to find a way to get Windows XP Service Pack 2 so that I can get the Windows Live antivirus, etc.
This is the computer I need to use for school, and I’d really like to be able to use it again.
I’m usually pretty good with computers, but I’m at a loss with this one. I can’t spend any money or buy a new computer.
Help? =(
I need to get new anti-virus softwear. I had McGaffee but wasn’t thrilled with it. So what are you using for 2009? What will you buy next? I have windows vista on the laptop and windows xp on the desk top computer, if that makes a difference.
Thanks for your help!
I have a Windows XP E-machine. I need something that will remove virus/spyware that are already here and keep them out. Something really strong but is removeable from my computer at the same time just encase I don’t like it. Norton 360 from what I hear requires a seprate uninstall program or a computer tech to remove it. The program also needs to get along with cable internet. I had the problem before where it blocked cable internet and it told me to go online for help or pay to have a phone call.
i am going to buy security for a windows xp pc and want to buy full very good protective software and dont know alot about it a good explaination would be nice too thx. and does the kaspersky 2010 internet protection include anti virus and does it need to include antivirus just tell me STUFF lol.
I have Windows XP- antimalware and system antivirus keep on popping up on my computer screen every second. How do I remove them from my computer? Thaks!
I recently bought a used laptop, a Toshiba Tecra 9100. On startup, it will sometimes freeze before Windows XP can even load. If Windows does manage to load and I get to the desktop, it will freeze soon after. And this is if the laptop even starts up, sometimes I’ll press the power on button and the indicator light will come on, without any other sign of life. I then have to hold the button until the light goes off, then try again. I also don’t have any peripherals attached (mouse, wireless USB adapter, etc.), and it does this with the AC cord connected as well as disconnected.
I was just wondering if these laptops are known to ever experience these problems, because then when I get it repaired, I can point the technician in the right direction (resulting in me hopefully paying less in time saved). He estimated the work would cost 0 CAD, unless it took over an hour. He tested the hardrive and checked viruses for free, and found no problems.
Any info/ thoughts are appreciated, Thanks
I want to buy a antivirus software for internet security and keep my systeam protect from the virus and spam could you tell me which is the best software for this iam useing windows xp …

I have a desktop and a big chunky monitor. Everything is running really slow and I think I have a virus. I’m not interested in how to fix the desktop (I’ve already posted that question on here and nothing worked.) I’m looking to buy a used laptop. I have an external hard drive that I’ve downloaded music and pictures to. I’m thinking Ebay – My main concern is getting one with Word and Excel – I assumed both came with Windows XP; which is what I’m running on my desktop now. When it says it comes with XP – does that mean it comes with Word and Excel also? What is a good brand and specs to be looking for?
I am a Chinese and my computer is running on Windows XP Simplified Chinese version. The virus surely recognizes Chinese words for "anti-virus software" bacause every time I type in such words in Google, the whole page shuts down. And I can’t run the anti-virus software so that I can’t kill the virus. I suspect that it is an adware, because certain webpages just pop up suddenly from time to time. Can anyone tell me what I should do now?
I have an Acer Aspire One that runs Windows XP, and I would like to know if anyone knows of a really good virus protection/removal program that protects against all of the viruses and spyware and junk. I would prefer something that I can purchase in a store instaid of off the internet. Thank You!

I have a network at work. 2 computers are shared via the Linksys. Both of the computers are wireless. The Microsoft Office 2007 software has been installed on both. I would like to know what is a good virus protection/spyware program i should purchase/try. Please help. Are the free ones just as good as the one i have to purchase? what should i do??
My computers are running the Windows XP.
I need a very good portable antivirus for windows xp.Virus Removal tools are programs for removing malware. But they don’t have real-time protection, you have to scan your pc first in order to detect malware and then removing them. So I’d like to have different Virus Removal Tools in order to reinforce security.
