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.

The daily antivirus is running on a computer does this mean the computer runs slower?

The short answer is yes it probably is running a bit slower while the anti virus program is running but not as slow as a system infected with a virus. If you are worried about performance schedule the anti virus program to run at a time when the system is not in use ie. overnight and let it run.
