    Ok, i have just recieved my new dell 1330

    on it there was already a 30 day subscription to McAfee.

    i don't mind using it and it seems reeliable enough, but i will need a new one at the end of the trial.

    i need something that wont make my computer slow, (can they make them faster? if so i would like that). by slow i mean make the startup and shut down time realy slow.

    i have Norton 360 on my Desktop, and it makes the internet really slow...

    the most important is the speed.

    Thanks loads

    Download and install Avast! or AVG for a free/good alternative antivirus.

    for a good free Antivirus I recommend Avira AntiVir , click here to download the latest version.

    For the best antivirus that is great on system resources as it's very fast and speedy, I recommend Eset's NOD32
