Default Anti-virus for XP?

Downloaded and installed Free AVG 32 bit. All was well till the 2nd
morning when I turned off AVG's nag screen which was trying to sell me
the paid version. Suddenly my CPU usage, both cores, shot to 100%.
Temps went from a sedate 33 to 44c. I shutdown. This evening while
trying to turn off AVG it cured itself. When Googled I found another
man who had same problem with AVG. No fix. Uninstalled it. Tried to
reinstall Kaspersky, no good, install fails in the middle of install.
Guess I have no anti virus.


When was your last backup ?
