I grabbed MSE on April 7 and deleted it two days later, it was a much bigger
resource hog on my XP box than Avast. I have a cheap version of Avast, I
think I paid $29 (on sale from $49) for one year and it has done a great
job. Malwarebytes and Spybot are two good apps with free versions
available. In the meantime I am sourcing a new box with Win 7 Pro. I want
to get my XP box offline asap.

Subject: [H] Free, lite AV suggestions for XP
In light of MSFT's dropping of XP support & thus the download/install of
MSE (even though current installs will function until July 2015), does
anyone have a suggestion for a free & lite AV program? AVG & Avast are
out, as they are not lite enough for me. They may run fine for others
but I think they are resource hogs, you may agree to disagree. Anything
else out there, that one could recommend?
