DesiPirate Posted April 25, 2013 Share Posted April 25, 2013 :yes:Do not use internet :lol:Use sandboxie or old version of avast. B)you can also use it without any protection and use common sense :P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rudrax Posted April 25, 2013 Share Posted April 25, 2013 If you mean Antivirus, then you should try webroot secure anywhere because it is the lightest protection in the planet. 719 KB and uses 5MB RAM. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dcs18 Posted April 25, 2013 Share Posted April 25, 2013 Is it possible today to protect a sistem with 128MB SDRAM ?Why not?It all depends upon User proficiency (I often run my system without any protection whatsoever - for months, on end.) 8) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dodel Posted April 25, 2013 Share Posted April 25, 2013 You could maybe run MSE and a low memory FP firewall like Ghostwall. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Airstream_Bill Posted April 25, 2013 Share Posted April 25, 2013 For the heck of it you may also try eBoostr it may help with cashing. Just a thought. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sirri Posted April 25, 2013 Share Posted April 25, 2013 Hard to believe you still running with those specs while RAM very cheaps nowadays. Its very old RAM :Dmore suffer than enjoy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
calguyhunk Posted April 25, 2013 Share Posted April 25, 2013 Is it DDR? If so, you can add another 512 MB stick (for a total of 640 MB). Costs about $10-$15. 1GB DDR modules go for $20-$25 ;) That will definitely do wonders for your PC in the short term :yes:That will definitely also allow you to run a low footprint AV like Avast or AVG. MSE can't hurt either. Stick to Windows Firewall. Yes, the XP version of that sucks, but with that much RAM, it's not like you have a lot of options on that front. :)P.S. - Could you mention the motherboard you're using? Is it a desktop or a laptop? :dunno: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RadioActive Posted April 25, 2013 Share Posted April 25, 2013 I suggest you try this:http://www.kingsoftsecurity.com/It's lightest AV I've tried and remains one of my favorites, and it's free in case you're wondering. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrator DKT27 Posted April 25, 2013 Administrator Share Posted April 25, 2013 The lowest I ran my XP on was 256MB RAM. And in those days, I was an avid user of the most sh*tty AV ever, called AVG. After upgrading to 512MB of RAM, I switched to ESET 3, which was light and effective.So yes, you should get a bigger RAM stick and you'll have to worry less about the system and more about security. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ande Posted April 25, 2013 Share Posted April 25, 2013 I guess he's using outdated apps which is IMO bigger risk.Panda Cloud Anti-Virus free. It requires 64MB.As for Webroot, meaning Antivirus component, it requires 128MB, it's not free, and it's not pure anti-virus - and that will cause slowdowns.

eurobyn Posted April 26, 2013 Share Posted April 26, 2013 use deepfreeze on the system.then you do not need any antivirus . or you could use microsoft security Essentials (the best would be to place more ram in ) or getting something newer.
