Virus protection, etc.

aaaaarrrrrrggggggghhhhhh...

my previous mcafee security suite (anti-virus, spam blocker, firewall, privacy, etc.) expired, so i just renewed the subscription. after doing the download and installation, my pc is running SOOOOOO slowly. web surfing is often worse than with dial-up, sometimes taking 30 seconds for a simple web page to load.

i'm still within the 30-day money back period, so i'm considering cancelling/uninstalling and doing something else. would greatly appreciate any suggestions about decent protection that doesn't make your pc so slow that you want to chuck it out the window.

It's German, and like Krautrck, its well designed, state of the art and kicks viruses arses.

highly recommended, it's on both my home machines...

Also double check it aint Spyware/Malware, use SpyBot SEARCH AND DESTROY (heaps better and thorough that Adaware), like the Stooges classic, it will smash your brain and viruses to infinity:
