Hello,

Intel Pentium Dual Core 2.5 GHz Processor
Ram: 2GB
HD: 350 GB
Mother Board: Giga Byte
OS: windows XP

I am using Office2007 in my PC. I have enable firewall. Can I disable it? If so, then how to protect my pc from virus attack?

I am also using Notron360 Antivirus and Outlook Express for email received and sent. Actually when I am going to open more than 3 or 4 application including internet explorer machine going to work slowly when I am using Tab to move other application.

Open Task Manager and see what uses a lot of memory and CPU resources. If it's something you don't recognize, then try to remove it. Check your page file usage too. If it's close to 2GB, then you might need to get an extra gigabyte of memory.

Practically any firewall other than the Windows firewall makes the computer quite laggy. Avira has seemed to be the least laggiest to me. Norton was awful, though. The biggest threat to a computer is the one between the screen and the chair. If you can keep yourself from downloading random programs from random sites, then you'll most likely be fine without any firewall/AV.

Was there anything you installed (hardware or software) before your computer became slow? That might be the clue. If you don't have a clue, try increasing the page file as already suggested and if you're using Vista you could use a flash drive for ReadyBoost. And maybe upgrade your RAM. Also, a great anti-virus program I can recommend that uses only few memory is Prevx.

Running anti virus creates lots of unnecessary files so you have to delete temporary files first before that uninstall all unnecessary files so that your pc gets much free space. then do as you have advised.

I think antivirus software works properly...Spyware collects personal information without letting you know and without asking for permission. From the websites you visit to usernames and passwords, spyware can put you and your confidential information at risk.

Maybe there are viruses in your PC. You can download an anti-virus software to check it. OR, it may be caused by too many junk softwares, you can get a related optimization software to clean them up.

If they don't work, reinstall your system.

Anti virus programs makes your pc slow. So make sure to know which one is suitable to your pc that doesn't give a slowdown on your pc performance. I have microsoft essentials and it is the best from all that I have tried.

Send your profile (CPU, memory, graphics card, etc.), and can help pin point cultprit. In the meantime, you should play with low graphics settings for best performance (yes, I know that you do not see) to play.
