Avast is very good but it does slow the computer down just a little bit but nothing like norton and mcafee

Same here, going on a couple years now. Just make sure you put it in silent/gaming mode.

I've been using Kaspersky for about 18 months.

Very satisfied. I think you can get a 3 month free trial.

Used to use AVG free version, but then my wife got us infected and had to reformat the hard drive. Have used McAfee and Norton before. Never again.
