Antivirus software

People want to be protected to make sure that their computer doesn't have any viruses on it. Most people will take advantage of antivirus software to make sure that they are protected. While properly using antivirus software can greatly reduce the threat of having a problem with your computer, there are some drawbacks to using antivirus software. Some of those issues are well known to many people that use computers on a regular basis, while other issues are not known and talked about.
Most people realize that when they run antivirus software on their computer that the computer that they are using will usually run slower than without the software. This is because of a number of reasons. One is that the software will scan and take a look at all off the contents on the computer. In order to be able to conduct this task, the software needs to draw on the resources that the computer has to offer. Some people will complain that the computer will be so slow that they will not be able to work on the computer while the virus software is testing. Most people though, will take the trade-off in performance that the anti-virus takes away in exchange for not having any further problems with their computer.
