Does AVG Free edition just make your computer slower?

Question

because my computer was fast, until i installed it...

Answer 1

No. Its depends upon your computer speed and RAM.

Answer 2

Ok listen up. I am getting sick of answering these questions over and over again why dont you look for other people who already asked these questions. I have one thing to say about this question. AVG and Norton's And Mcafee are all no good. My fiancee gave me the best software you could ever have on your pc. It is Zonealarm firewall and antivirus and anti spyware. It stops any viruses and spyware from ever getting downloaded into your pc. If you dont want it that is fine but i highly recommend it for your pc. You can go onto any website and not worry about viruses and spyware from getting downloaded into your pc. If you dont take it that is your fault dont say i didnt warn you. Here is the website.

Answer 3

If you mean does it slow it down like McAfee or Symantec then no. I use AVG and I like it. However, it has been proven that McAfee and Symantec are VERY ineffective when it comes to protecting your computer, http://www.zdnet.com.au/blogs/securifythis/soa/Why_popular_antivirus_apps_do_not_work_/0,39033341,39264249,00.htm I have never recommended using Symantec or McAfee and this only solidifies my position. The most effective anti-virus solution you can get is Kaspersky, http://www.kaspersky.com/

The first answers is a perfect example of mostly copy and paste, MOSTLY.
