Is There An Anti Spyware Programme That Will Scan My Pc For Spyware Without Having To Download It Permenantly?
Q. My pc is quite old and I have been told that having anti spyware installed on it will slow it down by at least 25%. I am thinking what is the lesser of two evils! No anti spyware or invasion by spyware! As I am fairly new to computers I am at the moment being fairly cautious about downloading things. Advice much appreciated. I am on XP proffesional.

You can download one and scan your system.
All can be trusted.
There are two conflicting and contradictory ideas.
You can run an online scan with Bitdefender.com . However, the program works by storing a library of virus patterns in your Temp folder, then running the scan in a similar manner to “offline” virus scanners.
If the system slows down perceptibly, either the Temp folder is taking too much space on your hard drive OR you have a program that is continuously trying to IMMUNIZE your system by checking every file you open and every file that you close, along with every website you visit.
If Bitdefender.com finds a problem but fails to fix it, post another question with that exact information.
You might also try a firewall like ZoneAlarm. Many DSL services include a copy in their installation bundle without additional cost.
Good luck,
