Anti Virus for OLD PC
Can any of you knowledgeable lot recommend an antivirus package for an old PC I'm trying to sort out. It's only running 32Mb RAM and Windows ME, freeware would be preferred.

I'd try abd go to www.grisoft.com get AVG 6.0 freeware, works well.

If its connected to the net then all the better as it will automatically download updates.

Try F-Prot. I'm running it on a P120 laptop with 32meg of ram, and it doesn't slow down the machine too much. They say on their website that it is designed to use minimal system resources.
