    Hi

    I just recently installed Kaspersky Internet security 7. Previously I was running the free versions of AVG/Zonealarm. I also have spybot and spywareblaster installed.

    My system
    WinXP
    Duo Core pentium
    1GB Ram

    Since installing kaspersky I located 3 trojans which the other programs i mentioned above somehow missed.

    I'm currently running the trial version which seems to have caused my PC to slowdown when I launch applications or open documents. There is a slight delay of almost a second or two which was non existent. I'm wondering whether i should swith back to Zone and AVG

    Thoughts/Suggestions?

    Thanks in advance

    Hi

    Spywareblaster wont be an issue as it's not a resident running application but if you have spybots tea-timer running that "may" interfear with the antispyware modules of KAV, so disable spybot and see if the slowdown in opening apps continues.

    Run cleanup tools and registry cleaner ( CCleaner ) incase some reminents of ZA and AVG are left, ZA is known at times to not fully uninstall.
