I uninstalled my anti - virus (AVG)
It picked up a false positive, a program my friend made that ends a service and stats it back up again because my control panel bugged out.
I don't download anything bad and i can unhijack myself if i get anything.

Well don't use Norton anti virus.
Possibly the worst anti virus ever made. Avg didn't cause it to be slow.

personally I am a huge fan of Symantec Corporate, which is not listed *I know I know, symantec=norton, but really the symantec corporate is much better* but otherwise I am finding myself a huge fan of avast. went to a website and apparently it was bugged and avast never even let the page load, blocked some 15 virus's before I managed to close the window. did scan's afterward and I'm sitting clean.

YOUR RUBBISH!!!!
+1 avg, also +1 symantec corporate. norton for end users blow cause its all about giving meh performance for a jacked up price. but coporate is the ****. also the part where you don't technically need a key to install it is nice.
