I have a Dell Latitude DSIXTWENTY. It runs XP; therefore, lacking in security software. I installed Avira, thank you CNET, but I am not content. Being an XP laptop from the early 2000's, you would expect it to run slowly, but mine ran smooth and after installing Avira, the performance of the laptop dropped. I'm unable to install it. Is there a way to do so?
