What's the best anti - virus and anti - spyware software?

I have McAfee and spent good money on it, but my internet explorer is always running so badly and I have a perfect connection. My downloads are quick, but my web - browsing is just so slow. So what Anti - virus and anti - spyware should I get? I downloaded Firefox and it has problems loading pages too

Responses:

First, switch your browser to Firefox. For anti - virus, I like AVG. For anti - spy, I use 2 free programs: "Spybot: Search & Destroy" and Lavasoft's "Ad - Aware. "
Well McAfee is a storage hog and it costs to much when there are so many free ones out there, and they really work. Thats rite Free. Go to avast.com and sign up for it and then download and install. Its free then I would download a spyware terminator its at spywareterminator.com install it, and do a maintance on computer like disk cleanup and also down this to its faster than windows it is auslogic.com / disk - defrag it is a defragger for files and see if your computer is not better and faster and even better on internet
well theres two issues there. it may well be that mcafee is causing the slowdown, but you have already paid for it and any replacement would really only be something equivalent rather than an upgrade. you may want to ignore the comments about free avg. the free version lacks the ewido engine of the commercial product, and even the commercial product falls behind in av comparison tests. its not that great a system. winnow. oitc.com / AntiVirusPerformance.html based on: winnow. oitc.com / malewarestats.php See also: av - comparatives.org / checkvir.com / So, anyway, to test whether its your av or your browser, download a copy of firefox and see what the speeds are like. If its quicker than IE and has pretty much the same features and interface. You may solve your problem without spending any money and without having to alter any of your existing security setup. Two advantages which you may be interested in is that it is a faster browser, and there is less malware targeted at it in comparison to IE. mozilla.org If you really have your heart set on keeping IE, regardless of how slow it is on your machine, then good alternative to Mcafee is Kaspersly of NOD32. The av comparisons above will support this suggestion. They are well worth reading if you want to make a well - informed choice
AVG FREE JUST INSTALL YOUR COMPUTER AS SUGGESTED ON THE WEBSITE BELOW AND YOU WILL NEVER EVER BE SORRY AT ALL computersguide. blogspot.com / 2007 / 01 / install - computers.html
We always use FireFox TCPOptimizer forums. speedguide.net / showthread.php?s=&postid=643301#post643301 to speed up browsing We recommend : Ccleaner AVG Antispyware Ad - aware 2008 Spybot Search & Destroy
I tryed Mcanfee and Norton they bouth. I have been using this Russen co. called Defender Pro now about 4 years now it's doing a good job
AVG all the way
