Computer Running slow?

Does your computer seem to be running slow? I have recently uninstalled the Norton Anti virus software just because well they seem to be just too big a company to support. I recently came across the noadware site and I thought I might as well give them a try for the time being. The amount of junk out there you would be silly to go on a wild adventure on the internet with no protection from viruses, worms and other spyware.
