Re: Need...Help... Now! :(
If you have one program running already, you should be fine.
Any virus program will tie up system resources, I know McAfee's Virus Scan/Firewall slows down a few things on the net, but I have it set up so it's not that big of a deal. Personally, I'd rather sacrifice a little ram to keep a virus program running, instead of sacrificing 99% of my ram so penis inhancement pop-ups can spawn from nowhere and manipulate my desktop.
You're fine though...with the constant Window's XP updates, the odds of getting a seriously malicious virus that could do serious damage to your OS is pretty slim, and most spyware is easy to deal with - but you really don't need to worry about spyware if you have Firefox, so it's really a win win win situation.
