You should take very good care to backup everything before you install an antivirus scanner as sometimes they have problems. In general the biggest problem is that the scanner uses too much of your resources so you want to run scans at times when you're not using your computer.

What is annoying your computer but dont really harm your computer?
There are a number of programs that can run on your computer that are annoying but don't really cause any harm. Many of these programs are forms of viruses like adware (which displays popups on your screen) or useless programs that come preinstalled on new computers (crapware). Bugs in software can also be annoying, but they are not programs. Rather, they are glitches in normal programs that may cause programs to crash or not function properly.
Why does the computer slow down when more than one program is on?
A likely cause is that you have insufficient RAM. This means that your computer doesn't have enough simultaneous memory to run multiple or complicated programs. RAM memory only works when the computer is on and is used for storing short-term data while running programs. Also, there could be another fault with the computer that is causing the slowness which is undetectable from this location.
