A quarter of consumers turn off anti-virus software

16 December 2010 | Category: Software

A new report shows that 25% of consumers have turned off their anti-virus software because it slowed down their computer.

Anti-virus developer Avira conducted a computer security survey with 9,000 of its software users. 60% of users also reported that they have tried more than one form anti-virus software protection in the past year.

The findings show that some anti-virus developers need to improve their software, so that do not slow down overall computer performance.
