I didn't get the slow-down, but I did get a stupid thing that immediately it ran the "tune-up" function, it told me there were critical updates missing, when in fact there weren't. What it REALLY meant was, not that there were critical updates missing but that there were SOME updates missing. (I had hidden hardware driver updates as I get these from the vendor...) so I binned it....stupid program.... |

| | Re: windows vista antivirus programs !! Read many of the post about anti-virus software in this newsgroup. That's why I uninstalled a security suite the other day and my system runs much faster. I did however install free Anti-Virus software - AVG free. Suites take up much of Windows resources to do what they try to do. Good luck uninstalling Norton.
