Many computers suffer slow-downs because of the security software itself. The majority of these applications actively run in the background of your system providing automatic updates and real-time protection against viruses, spyware and adware. The catch is, most computers cannot handle multiple actively running programs without considerable dips in performance.
To maintain performance, we recommend minimizing the number of actively running applications. Using AVG Anti-Virus in conjunction with spyware and adware protection that runs only when the user tells it to, such as Spybot and Ad-aware, will alleviate slow-downs.
We suggest manually running Spybot and Ad-aware about every two weeks. You need to:
- Check for updates
- Download the available updates
- Run the scans
This is the best way to prevent viruses, spyware and adware from threatening your system without sacrificing the speed of your computer.
