Security Software for ME
Hi there,
Sorry to say I've asked this question before but have mislaid the answer. Can you give me recommendations for various packages to run on a 7-year-old Win ME system that are free? I'm looking for: Antivirus Antispyware/Malware Pop-up blocker/ad blocker Antiphishing Firewall Anything else I should have installed to keep this system secure. Would I be better running FireFox rather than IE6? This is a 433 MHz Celeron system with 192 MB of RAM. Also, need to clean this system up. What would you recommend for defragmenting and removing left-over files? Any other suggestions would be most welcome. Thank you! Lynn

I'm looking for: Antivirus Avast Antispyware/Malware Spywareblaster, Spybot search and Destroy, AVG Root anti root kit. Pop-up blocker/ad blocker Firefox 3, when it comes out. Antiphishing Firefox 3 when it comes out. Firewall Comodo but be warned it does more than most and can be quite chatty at first. This is normal and it will calm down after awhile. It will also pop up if you install something, asking you if you really want to do it. Set it to "install" and it will pop up and ask you if you want to go back to the previous mode. If you're done with the install, say yes, if not, no. I also recommend getting a router and enabling its firewall. I like Edimax routers. All the above are free except the router. Anything else I should have installed to keep this system secure. Would I be better running FireFox rather than IE6? IE 6 is history but with your hardware, you might want to wait on Firefox until ver 3.0 comes out and the memory leak problem is fixed. This is a 433 MHz Celeron system with 192 MB of RAM. Also, need to clean this system up. What would you recommend for defragmenting and removing left-over files? Any other suggestions would be most welcome Thank you! Lynn Crap Cleaner at www.ccleaner.com. Use the clean up and issues features, reboot and run the issues again. Back up what you do with the issues. Then defrag the machine. Alias

Sheesh, Harry......you know nothing about Firefox. Don't go offering
Beta Versions to noobs. It probably is one that the *experts* are still ironing the bugs out of. We who use FF do NOT use beta versions. That is for the techy geeks, like TomV, grin. Now behave!!
