virus scan

Submitted by Timpane on Wed, 03/12/2008 - 14:07.

Okay.. so here's one.

I have recently wiped my laptop clean because of all the viruses and spyware.

I am using my laptop primarily for a single program which is memory intensive and can crash easily. I know virusscan prgrams can take a lot of resources and traditionally can make things crash sometimes.

BUT.. I don't want those things again.. my friend who installed my new version of XP pro for me says I don't need it and that windows firewall really does the trick.. claims he never gets virusses.

What's your take? And if I do get one.. what one is the least intrusive?
