...to run a scan with spybot S&D 1.3? I've got 266mhz processor (if that means anything) and ust installed it last night.
Is there an alternative I can use? I am in a postion where I am using this computer and can't buy one.

A 266MHz processor? Do you mean a 486DX2-66?
(big difference)

.. then you need to update your posted specs.
Spybot takes a while to run, although v1.3 is an improvement over its predecessor. By comparison, Ad-aware SE is blindingly fast. It's nice to have both, particularly if you're at risk (IE or OE user)

if you really run a 486 with 32mb ram as your specs say, then get used to any modern program running slow.
Dont install new software, run older versions designed for 486's.
When most people ran 386's, 486's were what people dreamed of. If you only run what was designed to run on your machine you will have a speed demon 486 with a whopping 32 MB ram.. a real pro's machine (circa 1990).

I installed X-Cleaner Free and the Sygate Personal Firewall. Is that good? How can I be sure that I am installing stuff designed for my PC?

Which one? The 486 or the Pentium 266MHz?
I wouldn't worry overly much - either something will run or it won't, with varying degrees of efficiency.
"Is that good?"
Well, if those programs do what you want, then that would be the main criterion. Research is never a bad idea - Sygate enjoys a good reputation. X-cleaner(?)... Never heard of it, but at least I don't see it listed here

Hi G1952
As you may now have gathered you machine was what Noah used.
Save up and invest in a new machine and it will take your breath away.
I buy a mag that people can buy and sell computers on and I have seen Pentium 3's 750mhz going for less than £150 which roughly equates to $80.

Really? I hadn't noticed.
Both you and XPUser are relative newcomers here @computing.net - have you grown bored with the XP forum?

btw, I believe 150.00 GBP(£) = 269.864 USD($)!!
Historically, the British Pound has enjoyed a higher value than the US dollar
