hi i have a dell latitude d510 laptop.it came with "computer associates etrust" antivirus.recently my computer has been infected by the eksplorasi.exe virus.i tried to install norton antivirus but after install when it restarts to complete the setup the laptop hangs.i think it is due to the laptops config.pls tell me a good antivirus that is low on resources and can prevent viruses like eksplorasi.exe.thank u.

I have a compaq nx 6130... If all goes well, i will have a dual core laptop by in another 10 - 12 months.. but that's not important here..

I use sophos on my 256mb lappy... its quite good at detecting most trojans, but the problem is that you may have to download a removal tool once in a while..

best antivirus avst homev4.7.just remove it frm start up.its far better than avg which i used previously.for detecting trojans ewido anti spyware is best.spyboot is not so god for me.its my personal expereience. both are low in mem & good.

eksplorasi.exe is a mass-mailing worm. i hope that u have been sucessful in removing it. kill eksplorasi.exe process and remove eksplorasi.exe from startup.

run ur ca av in safe mode and c if it helps.

avast would be a good choice of av for ur laptop, btw.

Personally i would not suggest Avast AV for LapTops.

My cousin had lot of probs. with Avast. The moment Avast was Un-installed, all the problems DISAPPEARED.
Probs. included.... very sllloooow system.

He owns Compaq M2000 (XP pro., 256 MB RAM)

Go for AVG or NOD32

AVG is light in it too, Avast and AVG, choose any between these maybe
