If I install these programs would the performance of my computer be affected? Thanks “You tried your best and failed miserably. The lesson is: never try.” Homer Simpson |

2. Yes on a Mac that doesnt need a AV it is bloatware and will seriously bog down Mac TM  Dont forget to use the Reputation System if someone has helped you out !!! “I have absolutely no pleasure in the stimulants in which I sometimes so madly indulge. It has not been in the pursuit of pleasure that I have periled life and reputation and reason. It has been the desperate attempt to escape from torturing memories, from a sense of insupportable loneliness and a dread of some strange impending doom ….”― Edgar Allan Poe |

Tattooed got it right for the AV stuff. I can't vouch for the FAQ because I haven't read it. Just know that the UNIX underpinnings of OS X would require you to enter your admin password in order to install any sort of virus or trojan for your Mac. |
