Antivirus Software Slows Down Computer?
Virus protection software that slows down a computer seems counter-intuitive. The point of virus protection is to keep our computers running quickly and efficiently, yet often times, the same antivirus software that is helping our computers is also hindering performance.
Why does antivirus software slow down computers?
In order to perform virus sweeps throughout your computer, the program has to scan each and every file in your system. This not only takes time but it also takes power and space. Because we want a virus protection to spot each and every bug, there is a price to pay – that is, it slows down our computer.
I want a safe computer, but I also want a fast computer. What do I do?
There are a few things that you can do. One is to make sure you do not have unnecessary files or programs opening up when your computer first turns on. Delete any unnecessary programs or documents that you have floating around your computer.
Spend the extra money and buy a high quality virus protection program. If you spend the extra money now, it will save you a possible headache in the future. You will be less likely to experience a computer crash because your computer got infected if you invest in high quality antivirus software. Furthermore, your computer programs will not randomly shut down due to viruses and you can be sure that your information is safe if you properly equip your computer before the attack happens. In addition, you will be more productive and have more time to do your work if you are not struggling with a slow computer.
