Anti-virus software keeps your computer and network safe from malicious viruses that can compromise your data and computer systems. I have used many times of anti-virus programs including McAfee, Norton, Trend Micro, AVG, and CA. Most of these require a subscription service and many of them consume your computer’s memory causing programs to run slowly. I recommend the free version of AVG or Avira. I have found these anti-virus packages to out perform all of the major anti-virus systems including McAfee and Norton. I have also seen them catch viruses faster! If your computer is running slow, you might want to see if your anti-virus software is “hogging” all of the system memory. You can download the free versions of AVG and Avira here:
