The new free antivirus, Avast One Essential, includes anti-malware, anti-tracking, a firewall, and a VPN with a generous data limit of 5 GB per week. This however is speculative as we would have to see the SAS logs to see what it is reporting.Avast is ranked #9 out of 20 antivirus software.Īvast has excellent anti-malware protection, a minimal impact on the speed of your PC, all important security features, and an excellent price. I think that SuperAnti-Spyware is scaring you unnecessarily, as much of what it finds is cr4p, it really makes a big deal out of tracking cookies and they are not a security issue but a mildly privacy one. Your biggest problem is, A) identifying the type of RAM you have and B) sourcing the same specification of RAM.
RAM is relatively cheap and even adding 1GB more can make a big difference.

Me, I found real RAM is the only way to increase performance, so I have 4GB on this win XP Pro system the maximum it can handle.
Basically I used a custom setting of it, more to stop it growing to big and becoming fragmented. I have modified my Virtual Memory and in all honesty it never made a blind bit of difference or you would probably need a stopwatch to see any difference (see attached image). This swapping in and out adds an additional load on the system and depending on your hard drive, it could be very slow and this is often the bottleneck on your system. If any information previously in RAM that is needed again it has to be swapped back in to RAM and this also means something is likely to have to be swapped out. This using Hard Disk space as Virtual RAM is never going to be as fast as normal RAM, this pagefile.sys has been used by default for some considerable time even in XP.Įssentially this just swaps out data in the Real RAM if it hasn't been accessed for a while and places it in the pagefile.sys, freeing up some real RAM space. So, I am guessing that this could also be causing the computer to slow down.ĭoes any of this make any sense? I feel like a real dumb bell not knowing any of this stuff!

Then, at the end of the Smart Scan, I am told that I have issues with my network, and that I have 21 pieces of "Junk" that need to be removed, but that in order for me to remove it I need to upgrade to one of the other Avast products. I'm assuming that, when I run a scan with Avast, and none of the Ad.ware comes up during the Avast scan, that the ad.ware isn't that much of a threat, so Avast doesn't mess with it, but then, I don't know, not being computer savvy. Here is the video: Īnyway.I thought that maybe if I tried essexboys suggestion and add sme more RAM, that this might help.Īlso, I am using a program called "Super Anti Spyware Free Edition", and for some reason when I run a scan(which I am forced to do several times throughout the day) a bunch of Ad.ware, and once in awhile some serious malware comes up during the scan that needs to be removed. I was trying to follow along with this one, but had a hard time since the person isn't using XP, and when he got to the point where he uses the calculator-I was totally lost.

Well.I was provided with a couple links to You Tube videos on how to add RAM by taking it from the actuall Hard Drive.

I am on a fixed income (Yes, I'm a dinosaur ) and have to search for as much "free" stuff when it comes to my 10 year old PC as I can get. I Googles "How to I boost my RAM for free?". However, I am STILL having problems with my computer being too slow, and it is now running even slower than it was before, which makes me wonder if I couldn't have done something wrong, or, perhaps I just need to take the last step that essex provided me with, which was to get some more RAM, because things are really messed up in that department. I don't you know if you have been following the other thread I started last week, re: "Avast has messed up my computer"-but a forum member here, Essexboy, Schmidthouse, Gopher John and IXWolfe all gave me advice, and essexboy really helped me get things back to normal with Avast. The last thing I need is someone trying to sell me something.
Thank you for that important and much appreciated info.
