I have been working in IT for over 15 years and clean computers regularly. I install the free version of Avast and Malwarebytes on all of my new loads. McAfee and Norton both will slow your computer down. I have had good experience with AVG as well but Avast ends up winning due to the fact it doesn't use a lot of resources to run and keeps your computer running fast. You can register it for a year for free and if you opt to pay for the extra features it is very reasonable. Malwarebytes is a top 5 program on most people's favorite spyware fighting programs. I also use superantispyware and combined with malwarebytes it will clean most of the issues you will come across (you can't get anything that is 100% effective because there are always new spyware to fight). You can get a bunch of great spyware fighting programs at www.bleepingcomputer.com.

If you guys ever want performance data for all things Anti-Virus, check this site out:
https://www.av-test.org/en/


I happen to use AVG and my sidekicks are MalwareBytes Anti-Malware, SuperAntiSpyware (still really good at getting rid of tracking cookies) and Glary Utilities (I like it for all CCleaner doesn't do and what CCleaner does do can be done In-browser).

Several of my more techy buddies recommend Avira. I use it and have had no issues. While it does it's regular searching, it uses its own crawling tool called "Luke Filewalker."

AVG is too resource-heavy. Not terrible, but not as good as Avira or Avast.

I like Avira but it did seem to have some glitches etc back when i tried to use it.

It didn't seem to work well with other programs.

Now that was a couple of years ago, so maybe it has improved now.
