In Antivirus giants fined over automatic renewals
-Hard to remove
-Disables your security
-Pretends to offer protection while offering little or none
-Slows down your computer
Is what normal fake anti malware does.
Norton and macafee showuing themselves to be class leaders in taking money, not only doing the above but taking regular payments without asking. I have considered them to be about as good as no security when the downsides are considered and would have always reccomended AVG free to anyone over it, despite the fact it's not really great. (It's sufficient if you're a sensible and informed user of the internet, I have no idea why my PC isn't yet compromised).
O think the rest of my thoughts on this don't need to be said, this all speaks for itself.
