PC now not working right because of this HELP!

I installed this yesterday. As soon as it was finished, my PC restarted itself without my knowledge or consent. This didn't help. It takes 3 times as long to boot up. Then I can't even use any browsers because it says it lost connection. Half of the programs I try to open will not open. The other half take 5 minutes to open. On top of that, I tried 7 different restore points to try to restore my computer to, but each time it says it cannot restore.

I uninstall this, and I can finally open my browser. Things open up faster, but no where near as quickly as they used to. I am still having a really slow boot up too. This thing ruined my computer. How do I get it back to normal?

I've had this sort of thing happen with customers when a machine hasn't had any or much Antivirus/skumware programs on it prior. Many times there are hundreds or even thousands of violations on the machine before symptoms become noticeable. It's strange but the machines often act like people who are sick in that they get worse before getting better and also in that they get comfortable with being 'sick,' and attempts to rattle the cage can result in the effect you're describing. Usually I need to run several types of software on my clients machines before the OS starts to loosen up and stops acting flaky. If this is your first piece of AV software this may be the case. Feel free to PM me for available options. It should be noted that PCT AV is creating problems on many machines, on this board at least. It knocked the wind out of mine and I'm meticulous about PC maintenance.

I run three AV softwares regularly (Norton, AVG and Avira). After I did a defrag it seems to be almost back to normal now. It's still giving me some moments where it forgets about acting right though. The worst part was not being able to do a system restore because of the program. I tried after uninstalling and it finally did work. The boot-up time is now back to normal as well. I was about to do a system recovery. I couldn't burn any data DVDs though, and my main concern was losing all of the pictures of my daughter and animals as well as many other data files. Why is this program messing up with a lot of PCs?
