What is frightening from this survey is that 25 percent of respondents said they turn off their security products because they feel that it affects engine performance. That's not a good idea because there are going to let the computer completely exposed to the virus even the simplest virus, could allow malicious people to enter into a botnet virus that is used to distribute malware and phishing.
This is a clear sign to any vendor who care about the security features of software so as not to burden the system performance which may have a major impact. In the end, when everything turned into security software, it is better to minimize the protection that go unnoticed security instead of using protection with a sound or a warning that most users turn off in order to use his computer.
