I have a major (IMO) problem. I'll start from the beginning. A few weeks ago I uninstalled Norton Antivirus as my subscription ran out and I've been reading up on free antivirus software that gets really good recommendations from reliable sites. I decided to go with Comodo Internet Suite as it is the full antivirus/firewall package. Not long after I installed Comodo my computer started acting weird (freezing, running reeeeeeealllly slow, etc.).
