Hello again.
So, to the point. I don't think this computer has ever had an antivirus ever. In the past i only used like one or two programs on it.
But now its my main computer, as my Windows 7 isn't working, and i just want Ubuntu usb booting for one purpose: Minecraft. Maybe some basic web browsing on top of that, but not much more.
But I just realized about my Xp, as i do active downloads, checking e-mails for 3 different e-mails, which of ive had one been hacked, its on pretty much all the time, either in a VM or browsing the web, sometimes on public Wi-Fi, sometimes on mine. I use it for web browsing, a lot of downloads, Youtube bingewatches, etc.., pretty much all I do on the internet on it. Sometimes even dealing with payments.
So, i just got to thinking this. Shouldn't i use an antivirus at this point? Im looking for a free one or a free version, but one that is also resource light.
I normally use FireFox, sometimes Chrome
Heres my specs:
Intel Core 2 Duo T2300 1.66 Ghz
1.5 GB RAM
Intel 945GM 224 Mb
Windows XP SP3
And i don't want to install linux on it, as i don't know much about linux, and I need a Windows machine for some programs that only work on Windows.
Any suggestions would be helpful.
