I’m planning on buying new software for my computer and I was wondering which is most effective and will keep my computer running smoothly and quickly

about a year ago, i purchased webroot spy sweeper. this software was pretty sweet. it kept virus outta my system, but for some reason, the sweep timing (where they check for virus in my pc) became longer and longer and soon it took about 5 hours to do a whole system sweep. so, i didn’t have much time to sweep my pc anymore. also, this product subscription has expired. now it’s hardly working. virus are over taking my pc like crazy. i need a new software to keep my computer safe again. any suggestions? what do you guys use to keep your computer virus free? if possible, i would like to have this software free to download because i can’t go out to buy any software any time soon. thanks so much.

I need to install anti virus software. Before I buy anything I need to know what it is I already have that came installed on my Acer 3680 laptop.
At the very bottom of my desk top there is a little icon in the shape of a red shield. When I open this there are 4 items. Firewall, automatic updating, other security settings and malware protection. All are on except the malware protection. This is off and when I want to turn it on it says no virus protection software found and prompts me to find software. There I need to purchase anti virus protection package.
Now my main question is all that I have explained above, is this a partial package that I need to uninstall before I install new software?
I know that you can’t run two together or it will cause conflicts with the PC.
I tried to run Anti Virus 2009 that I paid 79.00 but it for some reason vanished from my PC. The Icon is there but when I try to open it I get a message
"can’t find program, it has been changed or moved".
With frustration I contacted the software manufacture for support and they were of no assistance to me what so ever. So I requested a refund which they willingly obliged.
Now I am at square one and need help. I am not a computer guru so please explain in layman’s terms.
Hope someone can offer help. Thanks……….Andre

i have Norton anti-virus and i was wondering if its a good software, or should i buy a new software. and what is the best anti-virus software out there?

I am going to get a new anti-virus software. I would like to know if I should remove the software I use now, before or after I install the new software?

i uninstalled McAfee Security Center, the current outdated antivirus program and it said to restart my computer which i did so i thought everything was fine. i went to install the new software, Trend Micro Internet Security and the same screen saying to uninstall the old stuff came up again and when i looked in the control panel it said the old program was still there…….so when i went to uninstall the old stuff again the computer said it couldnt because some compenents were missing???? so now i cant install the new stuff until i get rid of the old stuff which i cant seem to do…….would call the computer company i bought it from help or wut should i do

My McAfee AntiVirus software won’t let me install Photoshop.

Any ideas on how to fix it?
It’s Photoshop from a CD, not a website.
Stop suggesting to get new software, thats stupid.
There is no disable button.
