I've used AVG which in years of use never detected any viruses on my system.
I then switched to AVAST which has occasionally stopped a virus and I think
is more effective.
However, despite my having a fast PC, Avast definitely slows my system very
perceptibly, to the point that I am considering dropping Avast and switching
to another free AV.
Have others noted the slowdown with Avast or other AV checkers? Is it just
inherent in that it scans more thoroughly than faster virus checkers? Are
there suggestions for other free AVs that would be equally effective without
being such a drag on performance?
