The software is trying to protect your computer from virus issues. In doing so, the software sometimes mistakes innocent web traffic as possible virus traffic. It then engages the software to search for a solution, which slows down the transfer of information. The anti-virus software isn't really what is causing internet connectivity issues, it's causing a slow down to allow time to handle potential virus issues.
