I've already converted to my old standby, F-Secure; however, it is dreadfully slow, and slows-down my computer. What are other HTers using/recommending for XP? I know, I know: a Mac. But serioiusly, for anti-virus, anti-spam, anti-adware, etc. on the XP platform, what are you using?

Around the same time they dropped LiveOneCare, they brought out Microsoft Security Essentials,
for free.  I've installed it everywhere, and it works very smoothly.

I just can't see the sense of buying AV software from someone who has to 
reverse-engineer the internals of MS software- when you can get it straight from
the source.

Good Luck
