I have a sony viao and I've let it go so now whenever I get online I have a ton of popups and it's really annoying, when I start it up it takes forever to let me do anything so I was wondering what I could get to clean everything (not wipe my computer clean just get rid of all the bad stuff) and what are the best firewall, antivirus and etc programs?

Download addblock plus from google great for blocking any pops or advertisment

Remove any software like norton 360 or any other virus software like this.

Download a small anti virus scan software called ccleaner

Big anti virus softwares take up so much of the ram and even corrupt files and it slows down your computer by alot

But because you will be removing your software you might wanna scan each download you do.

Hope i could help mate

good points but one's incorrect, ccleaner is to remove cache files and junk from all programs, it does not do viruses at all. norton is a good anti virus ( to a point) but is power hungry so it would be best to get avast and to disable popups.

delete all unwanted files and keep at least 25% hard drive space free and just to keep your computer safe download malware-bytes and run a full scan as well as a boot time scan in avast
