Names like "Web Secure are rogue & scam. Stay away from these types of security as they always have embedded spyware,adware, malware and trojans in their software or hidden in the wizard that will guide you through the installation.
In my spare time I test antivirus/spyware programs to see if they perform as claimed. Also to see if they have hidden embedded trojans,adware or malware.
Avast free for home use is I use an is excellent state of the art technology that is far superior then any other free or purchase program. http://www.avast.com (They are out of Prague).
They will ask you for your email address so they can send you a free key that is good for one year. After one year you must request another free key. Their corporte avast is the same, they just make corporate pay.
I have used this program for nine plus years an I never had one virus in my system. It has an excellent realtime scanner in the background that is light years ahead of any one else with a background scanner. If you open a webpage and there is a hidden virus of any kind the background scanner will come on and destroy the virus. (Plus if you keep your speakers on you wil hear a male voice saying, "virus has just been destroyed". Likewise for the daily updates that come in on an automatic basis twice or three times per day. Scans all 180,000 objects in my system. And when it removes a virus from a registry key you can be assured that it is no longer in your system.
If you want to spend money I use what the Government of China uses for antivirus program. http://www.filseclab (They are out of Beijing, China). Both program are equal in my opinion on state of the art technology This program is "Twister", you pay a one time fee for life. Includes all automatic updates, excellent support an all new versions. (You will be hard pressed to find any one else who will give you this for a one time fee). Avast I use in my backup pc.
Please note that you can only use one antivirus program, or you will have serious conflict with your system. You can use three or four antispyware programs without conflict.
All of these programs that I am giving you are very low on resources. They are nothing like Nortons or Mcafee junk an one big resource hogs.
For spyware,adware,malware and rogue dialers, (I use ADSL, but like the added protection for rogue dialers)., Download from http://www.emsisoft.com This is an excellent company out of Austria. They also will ask you for your email so they can send you the key for the free version. I prefer the paid version, because it comes with an excellent backgroud scanner like "avast", and never will miss anyting. The free A2Squared v2 for personal home use, does not come with the background scanner.
Another good free one I use is from Sweden. http://www.lavasoft.com Download their free home personal versions Ad-Adware Se Personal. This company has been around long before any one ever thought of antispyware.
Last of all there is a good program out of Prague that I also use, "Ewido Spyware". This is a purchased only version that becomes free after thirty days if you decide not to purchase they will remove the background guard and the automatic updates. You will have to update on a manual basis. Also scans 180,000 objects in my system.
http://www.cyberhawk.com They have an excellent free program I use to protect you against what is known as "zero day attacks". (Virus/spyware that come out before the security experts are aware of them).
http://www.sophos You can download their free rootkit for protection against rootkit attacks.
Hope the above helps you.

you could partition it and use it as a twin-boot gadget. you would be able to adventure some report permission themes whilst attempting to get right of entry to documents on the Vista partition from XP. you would be able to additionally use Microsoft digital notebook to run a "digital" replica of XP below Vista. at an analogous time as this would allow you to run the two OS's concurrently it is going to require a stable quantity of RAM (2 GB at minimum, 4 would be greater desirable).
