This may sound like a conspiracy but what if you're still using Norton and it's slowing down your computer because you haven't payed for the subscription. If you're still using Norton try uninstalling it and seeing how it is.

Avast is a good one and paired with Malwarebytes Anti-Malware for monthly scans it's quite safe.

avg free is good, a lot of people also use avast free

one of those two paired with malwarebytes is what you want

 

you should have both an antivirus and antimalware on your system

malwarebytes is only antimalware

The problem with common sense is that it's NOT COMMON.

 

and do you even have any idea how good darkhats are?

 

oh well it's your pc not mine.

 

to each his own I guess.
