I have an old Gateway I bought in 2000 with Win 98SE and I have reformatted 1 time in about that long.
I use it nearly everyday mostly to surf and file storage, internally it's running 4 HDs, 1 Zip, 1 floppy and 3 variations of CD Rom drives.
I don't think I could find all the drivers for all the hardware if I needed to.

Started usin kaspersky because my company uses it. Although I hate how my company's IT has it set up, I have found that setting the configs myself makes for a good, resource friendly, suite.

I used to use Kaspersky. Problem I had with it was that the irewall would hang Firefox. They put patches out for it, but never really fixed it. Went to F-secure and then Eset and will not go back to Kaspersky. Stopped using F-secure because of the AV software. It was too slow and would cause system slow downs. None of those problems with Eset.
