Well, I have been using Vipre Antivirus trials, but those have ran out. I don't have the money to buy it, but my parents have Norton 360 (2010 I believe). I don't like Norton, but they won't let me go without an antivirus (and windows defender doesn't count). I tried telling them that since I only visit certain sites, I am pretty safe from viruses and probably don't need antivirus other than windows defender.
I have heard that Norton really slows your computer down, and it seems to slow down all of our other computers, too. It also seems very obtrusive, pop ups in your face how you haven't done a scan in x amount of days, stuff like that. Is it like this?
If I have it disabled (turned off) and only scan with it once a month will it still slow my computer down while it is turned off?
Also, is it really difficult to get completely uninstalled? I heard that it spreads out in your computer so many places, that a normal uninstall doesn't get rid of it completely?
Thanks for any input.
