Ok im really annoyed with this program i change from avg free edition and zone alarm hoping it would be better but all it seem to do is use up all me processer and create about 10 processes by itself and they wont go away.
 
You can't do much about it. Norton and MacAfee are slow, they're secure but will take up a lot of RAM and make your PC noticably slower. Other than basic windows maintenance there is little you can do. I recommend avast! and Comodo.
 
Are you sure these antivirus are good and protective i mean i dont really know them

Comodo - the most solid firewall I've ever used if you set it up correctly. If you don't have the knowledge then ZoneAlarm is still vey secure.

avast! - better free antivirus than AVG, simple to use but requires free registration. Another option is Antivir, which is the best free antivirus out there in terms of detection rate, but you do have to put up with a splash screen.

If you're willing to pay a bit then ZoneAlarm Pro and Antivir Pro might be best for you, but seeing as you've just bought MacAfee you might not want to spend any more. Free software should be fine, but no software is 100% impenetrable. You should also use Windows Defender and SpywareBlaster (both free) to make your PC even more secure.
 
should i get the antivirus free home eidtion for avast

That's what I'm using - when I did a poll on which antivirus people on this website use it came out on top, and it has always been fine for me. :)
 
Ok ive installed zone alarm and avast thanks for all your help :D
