I need recommendation for an Antivirus for win xp. In the past I
have avoided Norton Internet Security as it seems to take too much
system resources and slows the pc down. I have always used Norton
Antivirus, while for firewall I use win xp built-in firewall and
router firewall. For spy ware I use Windows Defender. My question
is can I move to the Norton Antivirus 350 without putting too much
strain on resources or is plain Norton Antivirus still better for
reasons I have described above?

Everyone has their preferences, all you can do is try and determine in your mind (and Pc ) which one does the job best for you.
personally I use Avast AV, Spyware Doctor, Ad-Aware, and Paretologic
Antispyware, though I must say I'm not entirely 100% about that one
yet, but the others I'd have no hesitation in recommending.
oh - and regardless of it being bought and dumped by Norton - I STILL
use Sygate Firewall - which I find does an excellent job! and it IS
still to be found in the various corners of the Net.
I'v yet to see any evidence of the Windows built Firewall doing
anything ~ maybe it's just quiet - but I'd prefer to see a pop-up of
some description now n then to let me know it's done this or that -
just to let me know it IS doing something .
