After I have installed Windows Xp sp2, every thing was fine untill I've
installed a free version of F-Secure Anti-Virus.Since then my machine became
slow,and a mess, so bad that I had to uninstalled it.
Are there any free and reliable anti-virus compatible with Windows, that I
can use?
Thanks

I have heard "Avg" is a good one.. My 81 year old father uses it upstairs
on a Win 98 computer, but it will work with XP.. I am not sure how often
it updates definitions, but it does update them,. There are other free
anti-virus programs too. (avg = one computer per household.)

Make sure you click on the "free edition" link once here:
