rak sa_ngop Posted April 24, 2012 Author Share Posted April 24, 2012 Well I followed up the recommendations for Comodo antivirus, but after using it for several months I have had to uninstall it. Reason: my 6 year-old pc was running painfully slow. Running the anti-virus scan was slowing my computer down, but this is was only to be expected. What I did not expect was my computer to run slow even when the scan was not even running. Sometimes the disk activity was so intense that I would have to wait 3 or 4 minutes to refresh a page. Once I uninstalled all parts of Comodo, my pc started zipping along. Maybe running modern anti-virus software on older pc's is the real explanation, but I never had this problem with ESET Nod 32 antivirus. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bangkokburning Posted April 25, 2012 Share Posted April 25, 2012 (edited) AVG is a loser. I have seen MANY infected PCs in internet cafes with AVG on them. I use Avast and esp like the latest free version. If I were to pay, would be Nod32. Also use Spybot and Super Anti Spyware; CCLeaner, Glary Utilities and Wise Registry and Disk cleaners. Rootkit locators, Bleachbit and GMER. Spybot has its issues, even the latest - but it still finds the odd piece of crap. Malwarebytes people rave about it but it's never found anything even a tracking cookie! Edited April 25, 2012 by bangkokburning Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
