Ok silly question from a non genis computer user. My computer is old and low on memory [no more rm-so we can't add more] If I download Firefox can I delete Internet Explorer or does windows xp need IE?
Does someone have a link for AVAST-I went looking for it the last time I complained about my norton slowing down my computer but there were so many links I wasn't sure which one I was supposed to use...help please-welcome to PM if that would make it easier, any help would be very much appreciated.
thank-you

Its free if you use the residential user one.

You can uninstall IE, if never really leaves your machine, but the bulk of it does.
Have you gone through your computer and cleaned it out, meaning uninstalled old programs no longer being used, old games, duplicate files , empty folders..etc?
Chasing Hawk I took the plunge this am and deleted that AWFUL Norton off my computer and downloaded avast-so far what a wonderful change. I have even gone to a few web sites that usually load realllly slllooow and wow what a differance.
Yes I reguarly go through and delete old history files. Once a mth I go through and clean pic & favorite files.
Any thing I should be doing?
thank-you all so much for your wonderful help.
