Should I start being suspicious of this anti virus software?

bleeding roses asked:

I own Mcafee anti virus software and I had it since September. I downloaded items but Mcafee never detects a virus so I thought it was strange since every download I ever made was safe. Another reason is that their site adviser says certain website is green when it should be red. It also do that with downloads too. And recently my computer is randomly freezing up, shutting down,and a while ago it was slow, so I took a virus scan but it said there wasn’t any harm.So is this software right?

Good antivirus program?

Ƹ̵̡Ӝ̵̨̄Ʒ asked:

okay, i need a good antivirus program that will ALSO help me to get less hacked of my personal information more often.

to make a long story short, somone used my email and then used that peice of information to get my address (>.>), phone number, then signed up for something i didn’t even sign up for! and they were trying to get me to confirm a credit card thingy, or something along that line, so i told them to cancel everything because it sounded suspicious.

my mom was angry because she thought that since i used the computer so much, it was the reason i got hacked, or jacked…

so basically i want to get a good antivirus program that will keep my computer safe and it was also about time i got a program that got rid of viruses.
i googled a good antivirus program and found this.

What is the best antivirus software for Windows Vista?

pinoybigo asked:

I just got a new laptop and it has Windows Vista. With my old laptop (Windows XP), I’ve used Trend Micro Internet Security and it worked great. However, I’ve heard Trend Micro doesn’t work too well with Windows Vista, so now I’m looking for another anti virus software. I’ve heard different opinions from different people, so it wouldn’t hurt to hear more. Basically, what is the best anti virus software for Vista and why? If possible, give pros and cons.

Right now, I’ve narrowed down to 3 choices: Trend Micro (because I’ve used it before with XP) , Norton (because it has received great reviews for the 2009 version, and Kaspersky (has been known to be reliable but expensive, but the 2009 version has been taking hits from users)
SORRY I copied over the previous info. Underneath it is what I intended to “add”.

Also, does the type of anti virus software you use affect the laptop battery performance noticeably? I know some use more of the CPU memory which in turn uses more power, but is the difference great?
