Download MalwareBytes and run a scan once a month or so. Run Ccleaner once in awhile too... with older PC's it's important to keep them clean as possible, because they are so easily bogged down.

I have a cleaner, but I don't consider it antivirus. I run it every now and then, but I'm just waiting for my computer to die completely.

But it could work fairly well if you just cleaned that shit up...
Your PC won't die until the hardware does. Older computers can work fine for browsing the net, you just have to keep them clean and optimized.

I prefer to just reinstall every month or two.

I'll never understand why more people don't just use Linux now. Sure it sucked ass in the past, but the old compatibility excuse is downright pathetic now that everything's moving to the cloud.
In a way, we all use Linux anytime we access the internet. Saying the OS that's good enough to run 90% of the world's supercomputers, 50% of the world's smartphones and 70% of webservers isn't good enough for your antiquated old desktop seems funny as hell to me.

Oh, i'd just assume play it on a windows machine than have to nigger-rig linux to run it in poor quality. Seems pretty lose-lose if you ask me.
I know, if i use linux then i can just game on my 5 year old PS3! It's not that obsolete.
