I use AV but keep it disabled. and only run it about once a week and do a complete scan. I suppose its pretty risky, but I'm running my system behind a NAT (router) and I trust my email program not to run any bad stuff. If I'm going to be upgrading or downloading programs I let AV run. I've never picked up and activated any virii but i do get the occassional browser spyware.JLaw wrote:Thanks for the info so far, guys. And yes if I disable realmon it will make the a.v. useless. Is there a single program that I can get that will take care of my a.v. needs and spyware needs and firewall (if I need anything more that what's built into XP already) that's affordable and dependable? I haven't had many troubles with eTrust, but I think I might have some spyware stuff in my computer, it's much slower now than it was when it was new. I know there's lots of variables to slow down a system, but I'd like to take care of one thing at a time and I hear that you should have some type of anti-spyware software anyway.
