Best Antivirus Programs for 2014 - Comments Page 2

After reading this article I gave Avast a try. It was okay except that it slowed Firefox down to a crawl. Everything else seemed okay though. Including Chrome (I hate Explorer). Unfortunately this is unacceptable to me because Firefox is my browser of choice. I installed Avast with the default settings. Any advice on how to solve this problem? I'm using Windows 7 on a duel core with 4 Gigs of RAM.

EDITOR'S NOTE: Did you remove your previous antivirus? Having two can cause this problem.

Win 7 - Opera - Microsoft Security Essentials - no issues whatsoever........

I have used the free Avast antivirus software for years and it has always worked well, stopping many viruses before they harmed my PC. I also use Avast on my tablet as well. Recently Avast offered the Pro version for 9.99 a year with a two year option and I immediately signed up because that is a bargain price since the Pro version offers many other features not found in the free version. Would recommend Avast to anyone who is considering better antivirus software.
