According to Task Manager, it's using 2,544k. Extremely small.

I'd avoid avast

malwarebytes is nice but I dont know if it stops stuff from getting in, but it seems good at getting rid of stuff that does get in

It may be just checking for updates, but I wouldn't be shocked if it was downloading updates. I'm with Berz though. From my pirate chat room days, I knew a few people that had problems with it and spyware, from the program itself.

Wrong again, Einstein. Hackers can put baddies in ever image files now. Have you not heard of email viruses? And besides all that, who, besides maybe you, just reads email and does accounting on a PC?

Surprisingly enough, MS Security Essentials does a pretty good job of catching bad guys and not bogging XP systems down.

Can be found at www.microsoft.com/security
