All anti-malware programs slow your computer. With the "good" ones, you expect to get some protection from the bad guys out there. Unfortunately, the bad ones are really malware disguised as anti-malware programs. There are more of these fake, anti-malware programs than the legitimate anti-malware programs. You installed a fake anti-malware program. The only question left is how bad is the program? You might want to read this link and get educated: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rogue_security_software If you want to spend money on anti-malware, consider Bitdefender. If you want to go the free route, consider ClamAV. http://www.bitdefender.com/ http://www.clamav.net/lang/en/ -- Hawaiian Astronomical Society: http://www.hawastsoc.org HAS Deepsky Atlas: http://www.hawastsoc.org/deepsky _______________________________________________ Full-Disclosure - We believe in it.
