|  Anti virus problem
When i install my copy of Kaspersky Per Pro v4 it slows down my system to a crawl and it wont let me access the internet  .Went to there site and to inquire about it and found a forum with some usefull info but didnt work for me. Is anyone else having this problem with the AV above,could you let me now if you can speed up your system if at all possible. |

if you are runnin windows xp you might wanna up your memory
you might wanna try to diable the other AV programs when using Kaspersky Per Pro v4 . it might not play well with others i have never used Kaspersky Per Pro v4 but this is just an idea | |

I have the same problem.
And it is not anthing to do with what is running in the background as far as i can tell as i just installed it on a clean install and it still killed my system.
What have you done to try and get it to work. Have to say I am very unimpressed for this program that is supposed to be the best.

griobhta I've done the only and best thing that i could have done i just uninstalled it and kept it safe somewere just in case i get a trojan or something that norton fails to deal with as kaspersky per pro and all products are one of the best AV on the market. hope this helps. | |

I did the same. To be honest it doesnt matter how good the ruddy program is at catching and finding trojans if it doesnt let your pc do anything else. Maybe that is how it keeps your pc virus/trojan free

get rid of your av program and replace with AVG at www.grisoft.com 100% free (has been for 2 years but rumours abound that it will not be so in the future)
constant updates and does not slow down even old machines
the best av program in the world | |

My brother uses AVG exclusively!
Swears by it! Have not hopped the bandwagon yet but with the problems Ive been having lately with Norton, I may well! | |
