Computer's CPU being swallowed up by security program!

[Grodus]

Please help! I'm 10 years old so I can't buy a security program but the current one is swallowing up all of the space on my computer! The CPU is an intel pentium dual core...

Here's a pic, SO YES IT DOES HAPPEN.

Instant bump because this is .. semi... urgent!

There's a free version of Avast, I think.

My mom would be pissed if I changed it, anyway

uninstall macafee
install Microsoft Security Essentials
It's about 5000 times better than mcafee and norton combined.

Is the antivirus program actually doing a scan right now?

He's right. I use MS Security Essentials. If your mom asks just say you replaced it with a licensed anti-virus from Microsoft.

No, she's really uptight about that kind of thing and would complain about something where "MCAFEE IS BETTER THEN FREE STUFF" as if she knows a lot more, yet I've used this computer twice as much as her.
