Reply: (edit)Windows Defender is anti spy or malware. You need more than 256 meg of ram. When you post in future can you put some spaces in between your sentences. It makes reading your problems easier.

Reply: (edit)Windows Defender is an anti spyware program and should run just fine with Norton. Personally I would get rid of both and go with Zone Alarm Suite 7 which has both. Norton is a known system resource hog.
I'm not a hardware guy but IMHO your drive set up should be just fine.
I would also up your to at least 512 but 1G would be better

Reply: (edit)I would say, FORGET the ZA suite....Suites are just resource hogs and EXTREMELY slow.
My recommendation would be to get rid of Norton and install:
1- Avast Free AV
2- Comodo Pro Firewall FREE
3- Spyware Terminator Free
They work great together and DON'T rob your PC of all the resources plus give you ACTUAL real-time protection. Some HELP in posting on Cnet plus free progs and instructions Glad to Help!

Reply: (edit)Get rid of Norton with 256 of RAM. Better use Avast or AVG free antivirus, Comodo Firewall, which is also free and Spybot S&D antispyware. All free and all do not need much of ram, not like Norton..
