Hello to everyone on Virtual Dr Forums..I have a quick question that I'm hoping someone could help me with..I apologize if this topic has been covered many times before..I'm a newbie with computers, and I've been doing quite the bit of research and reading, but still getting nowhere..There's just way to many programs..Which makes things to complicated for someone like me ..I'm not sure which program, or programs to choose.

I currently own an HP Pavilion Desktop Media Center m7480n running Windows XP, with Service Pack 3, and Internet Explorer 6..My Norton Internet Security has just expired, and I'm looking for a good all around easy to use program..That will do everything for me in regards to security protection for my computer..For example: spyware, malware, firewall, etc. etc...Also, because I'm a newbie with computers..I would really like something that won't be to complicated to work with..I have Malwarebytes, and SuperAntiSpyware on my computer, but I would like something that will be continuously running in the background giving me constant protection against any type of threats..Oh, and did I mentioned the word FREE program would be great ..Not that I have anything against paying for a new version of Norton Internet Security, but like I said through my research..Everyone seems to say that some of the free programs work just as good, if not better than most of the paid versions on the market today.

I apologize to everyone for the long message..Any advice and help would be greatly appreciated..Thanking everyone in advance for their time and patience..Have a great day everyone.
