If you have a slow computer removing one of the commercial antivirus programs and enabling windows defender could speed up your machine.<div dir="auto">Be aware that if your subscription for a commercial one runs out most likely your protection will stop at that point also. Many new computers come pre installed with a limited subscription so keep this in mind.
