[QUOTE="AlanOstaszewski, post: 850928, member: 64646"] The suggestions from users regarding antivirus software are all well and good. But we don't need to kid ourselves: Even with the most resource efficient antivirus, sitting in front of such a computer is not going to be a pleasant experience. In one year at least, when the websites become even more complex and heavy, you will be struggling with this "potato PC" again and asking yourself the same questions. Therefore my tip: Take 100 Euro in your hand and upgrade this PC with more Ram and better Cpu (both can be second-hand) and with a SSD. The socket of the CPU is not the oldest, you will find something :) The PC will run very well and will be able to compete with today's office PCs. Believe me and save yourself the time and bother. (P.S.: Linux isn't also a good option although I use it on all my computers. When you start the web browser, the performance on an old PC with Linux is as bad as with Windows. Also I made the experience on old computers that Internet Explorer on Windows works faster than Firefox or Chrome on Linux) [/QUOTE]
