2002?!

Get something else that takes less overhead.
Many are FREE to the home user and which you choose is a matter of
taste, really. Many people have emotional attachments or performance
issues with one or another AntiVirus software.
Try some out, read reviews and decide for yourself which you like more:

Most of them have automatic update capabilities. You will have to
look into the features of the one you choose. Whatever one you finally
settle with - be SURE to keep it updated (I recommend at least daily) and
perform a full scan periodically (yes, most protect you actively, but a
full scan once a month at 4AM probably won't bother you.)
