Hello

Can you list which Internet Security suites have you tried?

So we can get an idea what you have / not used.
 
Hmm, less than a GB of RAM. Have you tried Microsoft Security Essentials w/ ZA Firewall. I think it's a great combo.

Otherwise, you could try something different like Emsisoft Mamutu or Comodo Firewall, a secure browser like Comodo Dragon w/ NoScript, and Sandboxie to open suspicious files. Disable autorun/immunize your USB. Also, there is Zemana AntiLogger. You can forego the realtime AV and do with an on-demand scanner like MBAM, Hitman Pro, VirusTotal Uploader.

The latest version of SpywareBlaster supports Chrome as well, so you can look into that.

You can try various combinations of the above to see what suits your need. With 894 MB of RAM, I cannot imagine using a security suite or even a realtime antivirus. This is how I survive without one: http://malwaretips.com/Thread-Why-I-don-t-feel-the-need-to-use-realtime-AV but again, it all depends on how comfortable you are and your internet browsing habits.

Another idea is that you can run Ubuntu or Linux Mint.
 
Also, what work do you do on it? Can you give the detailed specs of your pc?
 
Completely agree with BSOD with this. If you have less than a GB of ram what is the point of running a heavy suite like Kaspersky? MSE would be the only AV that would run quite fast on your machine.
 
Regarding on RAM, standard for everyone is 2GB since its efficient to make it responsive at all.

Or use Linux at all since its design to work from old and modern machines.
 
I will go with MSE + Zone Alarm Firewall free (WinXP FW is bad)
 
As much as I disagree with MSE,
MSE + Zone Alarm Firewall free is your best bet.
However, if you want to go lighter you can give Webroot SA a try as Its the lightest product I have used however it is a Paid Product.
But we do have a 6 month giveaway in the giveaway section laying around there somewhere...
 
Another great idea is Webroot Secureanywhere products. It's big advantage is that it is very light, possible lighter than MSE. You can try the 6 months trial of antivirus (check giveaways section of the forum, or google it) and if It does what you want, go buy it. About the firewall, I don't know which specific product is the lightest, so get an advice from the guys here.

Edit: 3link9, after posting I noticed you suggested the same product, I didn't do it by arrogance xD
 
Some Suite which will not Slow Down your PC at all.

1. ESET Smart Security v6
2. Comodo Internet Security v6 (Best)
3. Trend Micro Titanium Maximum Security
 
Well XP with less than a gig of RAM is kind of a standard in most old pc's running XP.

Light AV :
MSE (lightest)
Avira (light + good detection rate, you can select detection level (low/med/high) though if you keep it hight false +ve might increase)
Avast (Avast AV one of the most popular free AV around. It's also light on the system with a lot of goodies)

Firewall
Zonealarm (though i find it heavy on a system with less than a gig of ram, tried it on a pc with 1 gb ram with xp was a bummer, though i won't say it was really slow it had some noticeable impact on the system)
Just my opinion, you might find it light on your system

Privatefirewall : http://www.privacyware.com/personal_firewall.html (Though i have yet to try it out on a old system i find it work's really smooth on my win 7 system which has only 2 gigs of ram)

P.S. If you have some spare USB flash drive around, you can use them to make a kick start flash drive for Hitman Pro and Emsisoft Emergency Kit. You can alos make a Xubuntu (Ubuntu distribution which uses Xfce which awesome for older system since it's very light on the system) / Pupply linux Live CD / USB for surfing / bankin. Though the latter is a bit confusing (Puppy Linux)

best for you it's eset smart security 4
 
I would recommend using MSE + Zone Alarm Firewall + Sandboxie (for browser).
Base on these reasons
1. Your security knowledge and experienced using advanced security products.
2. Your minimum PC specs.
3. Your browsing habit.

Webroot SecureAnywhere Antivirus is a great solution for your current status.
Give it a try before you decide to buy it.

Before installing, please run an on-demand scanners like Malwarebytes since you have no antivirus protection.

Thanks. :D
 
My 2 cents (inflation adjusted): Avira AV Free Edition (AV only, not the suite) with factory settings (light as a feather).

Add Sandboxie for any time the kiddies or old folks click away the result of their sloppy surfing will be contained for sure.
Set Sandboxie to "delete contents of sandbox upon closing" and "drop administrator rights"
You might opt for "quick recovery" as well, which is for when you want to release a download (one you know is legit) from Sandboxie's virtual environment.
Set up Sandboxie so that all of your browsers open sandboxed when the rest of the users click on Firefox, Chrome, Opera, etc., as to surf with your PC.
