Yes, it is.
Anti-virus software are programs that run on your computer. At any one time there are lots of programs running on your computer. The more that are running, the slower the computer can work. So when you install a new program like anti-virus software, it is an extra program to run which will make your computer slower. It is still important that you do use anti-virus software, even if it does slow down your computer.
Finding the best anti virus software for your computer really depends on a number of factors. Different programs will work better or worse with the programs that are currently running on your computer, and you really need to put a lot of thought into what you currently have running on your computer in order to find the best anti virus software. This means that generics are often comparable if not better than brand names are.

It all depends on the website and whether you have an anti-virus on your computer or not. but mostly, just to be safe, I wouldn't run programs like that. Once I searched "Dora" on google, and I clicked it to enlarge it and more and more of that window kept poping up and if I closed one, they would just keep poping up so Be careful!
Yes. However the AIDS computer virus is nothing like the Human AIDS virus. Your computer can not get the Human AIDS virus. This computer virus was written in 1990, and affected .com files running on the DOS system.
