 Anti male ware/virus protection. Which one is better?
 I dumped Symantec in favor of ioBit's Malware Fighter and Advanced System Care. before deciding give them a look.
- eubankExplorerYour best defense is to be a wise and informed user of email and the net; virus and malware protection is secondary.

- drsteveExplorerAvast.
- SidecarFlipExplorer IIIAt my age, everything slows me down... except sleeping.
 I've used Norton for years, no issue other than their irritating ads for Life Lock.
- TrackrigExplorer IIHave used Norton for years, doesn't slow anything down. If you have more than one computer you want it on, I think you can get a discounts on buying it in groups of three or five. Check out the Amazon pricing and download it with a key they send you after buying it.
 If you do have a very old computer and it slows you down, I believe you can set it to do the daily scan sometime during the night, but you'll have to check that. I don't generally turn my computer off.

- ThomBolesExplorerIf you want "free" then look at Avast. I've used that for about 10 years now with no problems.
- darsben1ExplorerOf the two I think McAfeee a tad less annoying than Norton
- azdryheatExplorerI use neither but have used both in the past. Both have been shown to slow down my computer and hog the memory.
- sgip2000ExplorerThey both suck equally.
