For Some reason I thought it would make it slower, and I do have a copy of win xp sp3... so should i upgrade it without making it even slower?

about disableing applications I already disabled as many apps as possible (messenger, msn, explorer, windows media player ....)

right now it is working fine...little bit slow but fine...the thing is that when i received it did not have any antivirus or antimalware installed and it was working pretty fast. Then I installed avira and boclean (not many resources needed) but you can see the difference of performance. So if an antivirus is a must, I started thinking maybe I should change the OS. And here I am trying to get the best from the old laptop :embarassed:

maybe I should also ask if there are less resource-demanding but strong antiviruses, or is there a better, not so demanding confirguration for security.
