The man told me with a dejected tone, “ My brand new PC has become too slow! Believe me it is brand new with latest configuration. Please help me.”

So, I checked it. There was no antivirus in it!! So, I installed Avast free on it and scanned. The result was stunning. 5678 infected files were discovered and after long operation the PC was restored to its previous glory. You can see what can be done with a completely free security solution.
