Whats the bets anti-virus program.

I used to use norton 2004, but it slowed my computer WAY to much. Now I use Kaspersky anti-virus pro though i don't think its that good.

This is like which cola is best? Each program has its advantages. I would stick with Norton or McAfee unless you know another one is good for sure. None of them are perfect, but Norton is recommended by most. If your a gamer, turn off the auto-scanning in Norton before playing your game. That helps a lot. Iuse Norton and the only time it really seems to be slowing me down is when playing a game. You might try to change some of the settings around in Norton. For example, Norton 2004 is scanning everything that gets written to your disk. More secure, but more overhead. I think you can turn it off though. Check your RAM too. Anti-virsu programs can use quite a bit of RAM. That is a somewhat inexpensive tweak to most computers.
