Why is Kaspersky slowing my computer down?

Question

I use kaspersky internet security 2010. It is slowing down my computer .really slow.I just can't afford to keep buying different programs.Is there a way around this problem that is not expensive.I really don't know what to do. There has to be someone out there that can give me honest answers.I would sincerely appreciate it. Thanks

Answer 1

Personally speaking, I find that Kaspersky is surprisingly resource intensive compared to others. I use Eset Smart Security and find that it is quite light and doesn't really cause any slow-downs, you can get a trial version of it, if you want to test it out.



Alternatively, Avira Free edition is decent aswell, if you don't want to pay for the AV.



Hope that helps.

Good Luck.

Hello. My name is Sanjay Patel, and I currently hold an honorary Master's degree in the field of Computer Science. I am aware of, and have personal knowledge related to your question. There are computer maintenance businesses which are probably in your area, however they come at the cost of hiring a professional to enter your home. There may also be some local destinations where you can drop off your computer and wait to have a technician look at it. These options can often be costly, and pretty inconvenient. The answer to this question can probably be found doing a little extra research on Google.



A well-running computer can be a hard thing to maintain. From my experience, there is but only One software which is reputable- and consistently reliable for healing sick, slow computers. Reimage™ - https://reimagefix.im is a world-renown, easy to use software designed by Forensic scientists and made for the average person. This thing will fix literally just about ANY problem you could possibly be having with your PC. Reimage was recommended to me by a Professor during my 2nd year of Graduate school

I don't have an answer to the problem, but I will second the comment that Kaspersky anti-virus WILL slow down your computer and if you call them about it they will try to sell you something to make it faster, actually, they will absolutely try to push it on you - will NOT take no for an answer. They will talk you into letting them inside your computer from their end, then they try to push their product on you. With you at their mercy, they then try to push and bully you into buying their stuff to speed it back up. I will NEVER buy another Kaspersky anything - Norton all the way baby - had Norton for 4 years, not one problem - definitely going back!!!!!!!!!!!!

Answer 5

I am a professional developer with Microsoft, and have about 10 years of experience in the field of Computer Engineering. Most problems with PC's are the result of malicious software that infected a Computer. Examples of this are things such as malware, viruses, trojans, spyware, adware, root kits, and worms. In other cases, they are the result of stability issues due to crashes, freezes, or Hardware Issues. Some examples of hardware issues could be a dirty cooling fan causing the computer to overheat, or low memory due to lack of RAM, which could cause the PC to run slowly. You may think it could be a virus, or malware, or registry issues, but it could be something else entirely. As a computer layman, one may find it hard to really ascertain what exactly is causing the problems, without having a professional do an in depth analysis of your PC.



As professional computer repairs can be quite costly, I would recommend to you a Software that many of us in the tech department here at Microsoft use personally and professionally to diagnose and repair computer problems very quickly. It is a software called Reimage, from https://tr.im/ReimageRepair .. In my personal experience, and in the experience of many of my associates, this is probably the best software ever created for those experiencing computer troubles. This is likely to remedy just about ANY problem your computer could possibly be having, and have it running like new. Reimage has won several awards, and been featured in publications such as PC Mag.

if you would have looked up the requirements or went to youtube for how to set it up

you would have found out that it needs a full gig of ram to function

and kaspersky is not slowing down your pc it is what ever else you have running

look in your task manager and look at running processes at the bottom

make you a bet is it close to 60 or more

drop all those app you never use

Answer 7

I just tried https://reimagefix.im mentioned by that Sanjay guy on here and it completely fixed my computer. I was having all kinds of problems that were absolutely annoying me to death. This computer had viruses, spyware, error messages, hardware problems, and it would often crash or freeze on me. I think the worst thing to me was how SLOW and laggy it became. So just when I was about to wash my hands with it, and waste money on a new computer...I find this.

Answer 10

Its draining your computer's cpu, making it run slowly. Download AVG 9.0, its free low on system resources and I can guarantee you that it will protect you from most viruses, as long as you update daily and do regular scans. download here: http://free.avg.com/za-en/homepage. just download the free edition.

Answer 11

ditch Kapersky. try ClamAV or Avast! both are free and use less resources.
