    I removed SysProt and ESET. Is there something I installed that replaces SAS and MBAM? I don't mind keeping them around as I've had them for years.

    My computer has 1GB installed ram and it's using up to 16% when I checked.
    It has 76.6GB on the hard drive and I'm using 37.4GB.

    I know it's old and I should upgrade, but this is what I've got for now. :P

    I installed Windows Defender, TFC, and Secunia. Should I delete CCleaner if I installed TFC?

    And the Avast situation...why isn't it coming on automatically anymore?

    Windows Defender should do just about the same thing but I like to run them on a regular basis.

    You can get rid of all three, if you wish. You can do the same thing by using "disk cleanup"

    If I were you, I would get rid of Avast and install MicroSoft Security Essentials. No need to register it and it updates automatically.
