i am currently using Mcafee but it makes my PC a bit slow especially during startup. Earlier i was using Panda which made things look faster but was an older version. i also dout if it is as effective as Mcafee and Norton. Is there any antivirus which is as effective as Mcaffee and Norton but does not effect the speed of my PC.

Even what types of antivirus also dont show more different. This is because when startup, the antivirus program need to scan through those files, so if you need the startup scan fast, better remove/ delete those unnecessary files to ensure it scan less at startup.

The company who made my computer told me to load 'Antivast4 home edition. It is free and works great. Then I put a fire wall in which I find really good. Sygate Personal Firewall. 5.6
