Subject: [PCSOFT] AVAST Anti-virus Program and Windows XP update

I would like some advice for using the Free AVAST Anti-virus program. I have always used AVG Free Anti-virus program and do not quite understand on how to use AVAST. AVG seemed on the most part, to update and scan itself at least once a day. AVAST confuses me. I am not very computer wise. I think I need a basic step-by-step lesson in using AVAST. I am hoping someone can help me. 

I changed to AVAST basically because I have read several times that is a good program plus the fact that the updated AVG version will not scan e-mail after thirty days.

I use Windows XP, have all the updates -- except for Service Pack 3. I run three or more antispyware programs and Windows Defender, Ccleaner, and really try to maintain my computer the best that I can. I must add allof these are not purchased but are free programs.

I would like to know how I should maintain my computer using AVAST. Do I have to update it and scan it manually on a daily basis? I want to be safe. I would rather be over safe than not. 

If I have any computer problems I am basically on my own and not quite sure of handling any computer issues when they happen. So far, I have been lucky since I haven't had anything I could not handle.I am learning, slowly but surely. I must add that I have learned a lot reading this list when time allows me.

Also, I have read that there are problems with the Windows Service Pack 3 update. I am very nervous about running it. Do I really need to run it being I keep Windows XP updated?

Any advice on these issues will be greatly appreciated. Thank you very much.
