This can cause

1. slow down of system performance

2. The memory will be less than the actual memory

3. Blue screen issues.

Precaution:

Have a security software such as antivirus and firewall(personalfirewall.comodo.com) to protect your system from all of the above mentioned threats.

Make it run faster, live longer, and not have all your personal info compromised (ex. social security, banking password, other passwords...) Saying that, If you are a novice all this might scare you, but if you take the right steps to protect you will be fine on the computer. Use Anti-Spyware/Anti-Virus... (I recommend Norton 360), do system cleanups (Recommend ccleaner, defraggler, soluto), and a few other stuff you will be good.

1. Real time protection

2. On demand Scannings

3. Full system scanning

4. Virus Defination

5. Detection Rate

In general, they keep your information safe from spyware, your system safe from viruses and trojans, and your computer safe from hackers (or at least they try).

They help keep you system running smoothly, and help prevent it from slowing down with age. They also help prevent the obvious infections, which will prevent your computer from booting up, cause it to spontaiously crash, run incredibly slowly, or intentionally destroy your processor.

The effectiveness of network security software is highly variable. Anti-virus programs can be effective at removing viruses, provided they are run frequently and up to date. Firewalls and passwords can help prevent stolen data from unwanted intrusions but cannot work against user downloaded trojans. For public use the best network security is a computer under deep freeze.
