avast and AVG
they both seem to kill the speed of my internet.
i used the old AVG and it was brilliant
then moved to avast
it seemed to slow my pc to the point where it drove me mad
so it was removed and replaced with the new AVG
which has slowed my pc so much i now click on a page on here i.e. click on mk indy section
3 minutes later it opens
click on a thread
5 mins later it opens unless it contains pictures  then i may aswell give up
any more anti-virus programs for this computer novice??
PLEASE !

I've had the same problem with both myself recently. Interested to see what the general opinion is on alternatives

it was always slow on here but its terrible now
(since the anti-virus swap)
other sites are the same
ive defrag'd the system
thats as much as i know about computers.
(maybe if i do some porting an polishing
maybe a longer duration cam that will help??)

Get your hand in your pocket and buy Kaspersky.
I've found this the best (so far).

Don't forget to uninstall the old anti-virus.
My wife had Norton from BT, then something from TalkTalk and then bought Kaspersky. Computer was running unbelievably slow and Kaspersky
wouldn't load until she uninstalled ALL the Norton using the Symantec uninstall tool.
Much faster now.

Had problems with AVG slowing things down a year or so back (but on a crummy old machine, which didn't help). Replaced it with Avast, and it
was fine.
I'm running Avast on a much better machine now and there's no sign of it slowing things down. It's almost as fast as when I'm
running Linux Mint! (dual-boot machine).

massive thank you to McLannahan for the assistance
i found some old antivirus stuff but its made no difference
and im not very good at this computer stuff
so this may be a very hard problem to solve
shall i remove AVG 8.5 and reload it??

Open AVG, Double click Link Scanner then take all the ticks out of the boxes then restart PC see if that helps.
