anti-virus and browser.
from yours experience, can i get any recommendation?

Agree on MSE, but I like IE8 as I think they finally got it right with Win7. Best browser I've ever used.

hi !

goldE: PLEASE do a search before you create a new thread !

here you have a couple of threads to take a look at:

AV With the Smallest Footprint

what is the most light antivirus for mini laptop

Which AV is most ressource friendly ?

another thread related to the subject, might be of interest:
a-squared uses 620kB memory for realtime protection !

short summary:
Avast uses a lot less then MSE, but a-squared uses less then 1MB when idle in the background & not scanning.

Hi I would say google chrome or firefox I like chrome better it feels lighter faster and slimmer and avast 5 free, for antivirus or kaspersky for a paid antivirus and of course Malwarebytes for security with your antivirus.

Agree wih reece. I use firefox but every now and then I use google chrome. I would say chrome is lighter, but firefox just has more add-ons which I like. I use Avast and that is pretty light. Malwarebytes is also a light program and a very good anti-spyware program.
