But I like System Mechanic the most out of anything, Avg is shit, norton is a joke, Free MC security is just the same as norton, you basically don't get very good protection if any from free anti-virus programs and they usually suck the life out of your CPU and Ram when they're active on your PC which is ridiculous. Un-install any unnecessary programs such as boatware that came pre-installed on the computer and just clutters shit up. Like HP and Dell love to do. If this doesn't work tell us and we'll see what goes down. I can also try doing team viewer with you and install system mechanic on your computer, run everything and then put the anti virus on yours run it see what turns up and keep using it since I don't, it's also already paid for.

Contrary to what another commentator has asserted, AVG performs very well all the time and is consistently among the top-rated programs. If one uses the web without AV cover, one is asking for trouble. Ensure all web plug-ins are kept up-to-date and deactivate that for Java. Ad blockers and script blockers beef up browser security considerably but one has to strike a balance between ones ability to use the web and programs that inhibit web sites. I'm pleased to read that you've solved your adware problem. hxtr, BigPapaDean and loaderXI 3 Awards

I go eager to try out SUPERAntiSpyware in a real world experience. I started scanning all the PC's and it only found tracking cookies.The site has Bid Defender and Malwarebytes installed. On one PC both were disabled. Installed this and it found all this.... and zero of it from porn. She don't do that.. It's other sites she is going to causing the problem. After cleaning... machine reboots and malwarebytes and Bit Defender load. PC's running fine but I think I will reload it just be be safe. This is a bit excessive.

People never do. Until they are caught. More likely it is from bittorrent. I have always suspected that the MPAA and others do this, even tho its illegal, because its so hard to actually catch anyone these days with proxies and such. But of course the way around that is to have the source outside of the US. Probably those very same proxies. edit: When surfing, one site that always slows my browser to a crawl or for a time locks it up is Amazon. Edited April 15, 2015 by Sammy ScRiPt3r 1 Awards
