[QUOTE="Victor M, post: 1106134, member: 96560"] Do consider switching to Linux. Linux is known for catering to low spec machines. Like Lubuntu, Puppy Linux, and quite a few more. Then security will be less worrisome because almost all of the software that you need are obtainable from the official repository of the distro. And Lubuntu has Apparmor - a mandatory access control implementation. Google for 'low spec Linux distro'. Linux is not that alien of a OS as many may think. If you have passing familiarity with the command prompt, you will do fine. There is ifconfig instead of Window's ipconfig. Nestat is the same. ls instead of dir. cp instead of copy. mv to move files. Of course there is a File Manager, so you won't need to touch commands. CTRL-C is copy and CTRL-V is paste, just like Windows' keyboard shortcuts. The Linux world copies features from Windows; focusing on migrating Windows users to Linux. There is the built-in Firefox. Whatever you don't know you can use the man command to read the documentation. ( man <command>; apropos <keyword> ). Documentation is good in Linux. And there is a Huge community of forums where they welcome beginners; and Tons of how-to sites. In fact I run a how-to site myself; focusing on setting up in depth security for Ubuntu / Ubuntu based distro's. [/QUOTE]
