Im trying to find out if when Im doing upgrade does this
use up space on my hard drive? I've not had this computer
long and after getting on the internet Ive had alot of
problems. I was told by the company to get my product
upgraded to better the performance. Windowxp has a lot of
defaults im finding after being on the internet for just
two weeks.

To give reasonable advice here we need to know a bit more
about the computer - how much of the hard drive is free;
how much RAM does it have; are you getting error reports
and if so what are they; what, exactly, do you mean by 'a
lot of problems'?

I would suggest that the first thing you should do is go to
http://www3.telus.net/dandemar/security.htm
and follow ALL of the advice given there.

Re: your current problems.

Online virus checks are available at:
http://www.coledata.com/virusalert.htm
http://www.ravantivirus.com/scan/
http://www.bitdefender.com/

There is a free trojan scan at:
http://www.trojanscan.com/trojanscan/scanner.htm

Ad-aware and Spybot can be found by a Google search.
Update and use both a couple of times a week.
SpywareBlaster is another good program to use.

And to add to this, it would be useful to know what "product" you're
upgrading...hardware, software, what?
