I think installing a good software and then Scan your system is a good option then Going for an online Scanning

But the prob here is that I have an old system, which cant take in that much of power to load all of it.Its P-133mhz, 64mb ram.....

But do u know any of the online scans ?

Online Scanning has it's pros and cons...
Thier Virus database is always uptodate, hence better virus detection dates...but, the bad thing is that connection should be fast.....

for a system like ur's, it's better u install AVG or AntiVir as they r very light.....
as far as online scanner goes, Trend Micro's House Call and CA's eTrust WebScan r the better ones....

I guess one of the biggest cons against online scanners is that the Internet connection is one of the first things to go when some viruses hit.

Thats the 1 i have registrd as the loging here on this site.. Its a 256kpbs connection from BSNL. Dont trust them I'm not getting that much of speed.... Any way its always online so thats an added benefit because u dont have to count eggs and dimes on the dial up connec.......
