HEy

My laptop is .. Celeron 1.4 GHZ ,, 256 MB RAM,,

I had been using Bitdefender but faced sum probs wit it..

Now i havce switched to AVG free + Outpost pro firewall

The reason being tht AVG does not hog sys performance and Outpost firewall has a built in Spy ware.

But it does overall slows the SYS.

Is there any other alternatives

You might want to add more RAM...256 isn't that much anymore. You made a good choice going with AVG...it uses very little system resources...maybe try Zone Alarm free version, I'm not sure how much that uses. I would definitely suggest getting more RAM though (at least another 256MB stick).

i use avast (also free) and windows firwall xp service pack 2
The windows firewall is usually adequate, try using that for a while.

Also, for antivirus, avast! (avast.com) is free. Give that a shot.
Windows firewall is useless, easily hacked. I use Eiwdo from grisoft and don't have issues. I also use AVG virus without the slowing issues. Eiwdo is mal/ad/spyware remover and protector. Or use ADWARE SE from lavasoft.
i can recommend 3 things and they are free:

anti virus: keep using AVG

Ad-aware: http://lavasoft.com/ -%26gt; click "ad-aware personal" on the left pane and download it for free

firewall: go to: http://www.download.com/ZoneAlarm/3000-1...

and download it. BUT:

turn auto update to OFF. coz the newer version: 6.5.735 or sumthin is not working properly....

good luck!
y dont u format ur laptop and try to use BITDEFENDER again which is the best antivirus ( if it is a retail edition) in www.top10reviews.com ratings. remaining antivirus softwares slow downs ur PC speed or gives less protection.
