[QUOTE="roger_m, post: 850808, member: 31436"] I would highly recommend adding more RAM. Windows Update sometimes uses several gigs of RAM. Even though soon there will be no more updates for Windows 7, even without Windows Update using all the RAM, 1GB is definitely not enough for anything other than XP these days. Despite the fairly slow processor, it's probably fast enough to run Windows 10 fairly well, if that's an option. I would say that ESET would be a good choice for an antivirus, as it's so light that it should have very little impact on performance on that computer, despite the slow processor. There are some other extremely light antiviruses such as Panda and Tencent, but I would stay away from them. [/QUOTE]
