Best paid antivirus software.

Pcinacan

What is the best software for antivirus. I really need it for one reason that is to restore performance. I have seen that my pc has been going slower and i would like to get it at least a little faster. So what should  I get?

You could download malware bytes since you could have a virus? you mentioned your pc is starting to get slow.

 

I don't even run anti virus, but if you're not confident in your surfing capabilities then i would get one.

 

Go buy Norton from you local walmart costs like 50$ for a year. There are free ones like AVG but it really depends on the protection you want.

 

Good hackers can make rats/etc that can get through most firewalls.

 

 

 

In summary;

 

 

Download malware bytes and see if that fixes your problem if not you could buy Norton or something.

 

Last case senario;

 

Take your pc to a store and have them clean it or you can do it with a fresh windows install and start fresh ( you'll lose all your documents )

I think i will go malware bytes. I have thought about doing a fresh reinstall but  it takes to much time and i have a 300 gb data cap

If you have a mac, having anti-virus is still a good idea.

Why does your internet Data cap have anything to do with you doing a fresh install?

 

You're going to be doing it via CD or bootable USB correct? That doesn't use internet Data.

 

Took me like 20minutes to do a full install on my pc. win7

Sure, but there are many fewer writers of malicious software for mac.

There have been several viruses for macs that caught people off guard.
