Whatever you want. It's a personal preference and has nothing to do
with the XP. Do your own research.

Ask elsewhere



Hmm. In a "general" group about an OS, I would think asking about a
critical software application such as antivirus to be a completely
legitimate question.


To the OP: AVG is good, but is no longer free. Starting w/ version 8.0,
it only works for a 30-day period. Note that the price is not that bad.
Other good AV programs (some free, some have similar minimal charges) are:

Avast!
MalwareBytes Anti-malware (I really kind of like this one)
Kapersky (sp?)

Note: a great forum that talks about virii and spyware is

AVG is still free. I'm using AVG 8 free edition.
