Best Answer

In most cases your computer will run very slowly once the anti virus program has been installed. If you have an older computer internet security suites usually will be very heavy. I use a 7 year old computer that only has half a gig of ram so even though it has a decent CPU it lacks the ram to run such programs. I recommend avast if your computer has a heavy anti virus program installed. Make sure you delete the old anti virus program.

If your antivirus software is unable to quarantine a detected virus, it is either because of A) An error was encountered while moving the virus to quarantine on the hard disk, or B) The virus is putting up a fight against your antivirus software. When this happens, delete the virus or send it to the developer of the antivirus software if possible for analysis.
