I'm sick and tired of Avast Internet Security sucking the life out of my WEB/PC

This is a general comment on browser speed

Browser speed in relative to what you want.

Does avast! give you the most protection for the impact on browsing speed? I don’t know.

What I do know is this. I use avast! AIS 7 along with three other real-time anti-malware programs. I aslo use Firefox (always latest beta) with about 30 extensions and plug-in in total. I also usually browse the Net with 10 or more open tabs. Now if someone who loves speed were to come and surf with my computer they would say it is slow, no doubt. However, in my case I would rather sacrifice some speed for more security. I surf the Net 10+ hours a day. I scan regulary using about a half dozen anti-malware programs including avast! AIS and Malwarebytes. In the last six months none of the scans I have run have turned up one single piece of malware on my system, excluding some adware which occasionally gets through.

Bottom line is I will sacrifice that extra speed for a clean computer. Would I have to sacrifice this speed if I used another anti-malware program other than avast! AIS 7 as my primarly security program? I don’t know. I do know that it works for me and I am very happy with how it works.
