We use Avast on both my computer and my laptop. Saves me a alot of headaches.
I use Adblock plus, I don't open any links in an email I don't know who sent them.
Avast also notifies me of bad websites that are suspicious. The page will not even open for viewing if it is deemed unsafe.
Also keeping your start up and background programs to a minimum help with the speed
of your computer. I have noticed with DSL, pages and videos take longer to open and play.
Cable internet is faster in that regard.
Also make sure your computer is clean of dust bunnies. Take it into the garage and blow it out,
make sure you also blow out the video card, it collects dust too. The power supply needs it most of all, dust clogs it up and burns it out quickly.
