Often I want to cancel them and get something less invasive.
Without all the rants and flames that this forum is known for, what do you champions of Norath suggest?
Not that I'm free from throwing flames or going on rants on occasion, just, not this time please.

Consider trying Bitdefender or Kaspersky as alternatives to Norton for a less invasive experience. These are well-respected security options with lighter impact on system performance.

I think AVG is randomly taking a shit on my shitbox computer's processing power

It's really frustrating when I have a charmed hasted mob with a torch standing next to me in game and my computer freezes attempting to process something, to the point where I can't even open task manager....everything is frozen for sometimes 2-5 minutes straight

The only thing I can do at that point is eventually close out P99 via task manager since the screen will go black and hope my char gets logged out before charm randomly breaks and I super die

When I look at task manager processes I'm always at 100% disk useage despite me having 550gb free disk space. I've tried adjusting the paging file so many times and it never fixes anything

I hear AVG is terrible for processes, but it does sometimes catch sneaky files when I attempt to stream a movie illegally on putlocker or something. But I am thinking of just uninstalling it and going with basic protection of windows defender or whatever comes with my windows

I ran Windows Defender-only for years and never had a problem, but with my wife and daughter not being so computer savvy I sprang for a Bitdefender family subscription. Goes on the phones, tablets, and laptops. I disable some of the stuff for myself, but it's nice to see it blocking dodgy websites on their devices.

Ty for info, how much that run you per month? I wouldn’t need multiple devices or other users. It doesn’t use too much processing power in background?

Im surprised people use anything but Windows Defender and browser ad and script blockers. I havent used anything but for ages. Stop opening those suspectable emails and links my man.

I haven't noticed any big spikes in CPU usage. It's about £40/yr.

You can’t cut me off my hentai interactive online games. I have 3 different harems to manage, catgirls won’t feed themselves

Plus I’m sorry but when a Microsoft rep from India calls and says I’ve missed a $300 refund from Amazon, I’m going to get my refund, $300 is a lot of money

Just chiming in here it's impossible to protect something designed by the NSA-CIA and made in China.
