I just dumped Norton and Constant Guard off my T23, they were just pigging down the old computer to the point of almost being useless.
Are there any decent AV sw that won't pig down an old computer like the T23?
I am loading MS Security Essentials as a stop gap.
thanks
which AntiVirus sw for T23?
Re: which AntiVirus sw for T23?
MSE or Avast! have performed fairly well for me, but I don't usually use my "classic" ThinkPads for critical stuff, so generally go without AV software if I have Windows installed at all. If you think before you click, you can avoid almost all mal-ware.
Collection = T500 - R400 - X300 - X200 - T61 (14" WXGA+) - T61 (14.1" SXGA+) - T60 (15" SXGA+) - X40 - T43p - T43 - T42p - A30P - 600E

Re: which AntiVirus sw for T23?
I've used MSE for several years now and never had a problem with it, and I find it to be among the least resource intensive AV programs I've found; while I wouldn't recommend running without AV software, I agree that if you are smart about what you click you shouldn't have issues - I would recommend sticking with MSE unless you have a specific requirement that it doesn't fit.
