thank you . gonna try turning off webroot and see what happens. I use to just use Microsoft pc essentials which is the same as windows defender but I was told that's not enough but I never had a problem using it or any virus or spyware problems.
I think its the firewall on the webroot . I turned the firewall off and it seems better .. I think I'm gonna do what my bf said and just go back to using the windows defender . which is the same as using Microsoft pc essentials . I never had a problem using that but I was told its not enough for protection. I have gone to Microsoft pc essentials because wild tangent game specialist said that's what their company uses and it works good. I want to make sure that's enough to protect my pc . it always did before ...If you can get back to me and let me know what you think I would appreciate it. thank you for all your help.. oh their is a spot to allow files for firewall on webroot but I couldn't figure out how to put the sims4 on that list ..

It depends on what you do on your computer. When you look at a lot of different unknown websites I would really suggest an anti-virus & anti-malware.
Same goes with if you fall for spam mails a lot, some people easily click on links in e-maills or open unknown attachments to e-mails. Or even on social media.
Personally, I have it all off, but when I feel like I'm going to go to a website or download/open something I'm not 100% sure of I turn it on. And off course just let is scan every once in a while.
I don't think there is one security software that it 'the best', because when a new virus comes out they don't know about it instantly.
It takes a few people to report it, and for them to look in to it to get it added to the program.
I would see how it goes, if it starts lagging again, just play around with the settings a bit. You should be able to add TS4 to the list as well, same goes for the 64-bit version of The Sims.

thank you. For tonight I'm just gonna disable firewall while I'm online with the sims 4 .. Tomorrow I'm gonna try uninstalling webroot and try the windows defender which is the same as the pc essentials and see if that makes a difference. thank you for being so kind and patient with me .. I was gonna add you as a friend but I wanted to ask out of respect if that would be ok ?

I don't think that really does a lot on this website, but feel free to do so 🙂
