Virus software by definition runs in the background of your PC and is the SOURCE of your slow down problems.
I have used Zero virus software in last ten years and have zero problems with virus as I take very simple steps to protect against getting viruses.
Internet Explorer is only used when there is no other options. Don't use it it represent 60% of all problems with outlook and outlook express being the other 39%
Do not open any mail on your PC (ZERO) nada use Yahoo for all your E-mail and look at it online and never ever download into your PC all the malicious **** in e-mails can never hurt you if you open it online and never download to your PC.
As for a web browser use Mozilla. all of the cool things about recent versions of explorer were stolen from Mozilla so you only gain advantages from Mozilla. Firefox
almost all problems that crash PC come from E-mail and browser so by using mozilla you cut down virus problems nearly to ZERO.
A brand new PC top of the line running Norton anti virus will get the snot kicked out of it in performance by a 5 year old run of the mill PC that is not running Norton.
In order to protect your PC you gotta think and act like a hacker. And most of all the windows software for rolling back the image does not work on viruses as all the hackers for years have learned to work around the windows image software.
