A quick search of the internet will provide you with good reviews on the major AV products. All seem to perform well at their main task. However, the big security suites can be a pain in the butt. I got tired of paying $40 to $60 per year to slow down my PC. Somehow it is less painful if the products are free. I have used McAffee, Norton, and CA products and found they all bogged down my computer more than necessary. CA especially not recommended for dial up. When I contacted suppport, they said they were aware of the problem and I just had to live with it. NO I DONT. I actually was turning off the product at times to keep it from downloading so I could use the internet.
I now use Avast for antivirus and Comodo for firewall, both free and less troublesome. I have also used AVG and Zone Alarm with no problems.(I had a boss who refused to pay for updates so I had no choice.) Just dont go naked, it hurts us all.
