Me, in my braindead state of mind decided it’d be a good idea to install Kaspersky on my system (already running Norton System Utilities) - while dead tired - and just shut off my computer for the evening as if all was well…boy was I in for a surprise this morning.
I started up my computer and it felt like I was in some sort of tarpit, which I thought quite odd b/c I have 1G of memory on this machine and it’s more than capable of handling just about any program I can throw at it. I checked my system resources (which took up a good 10 minutes just to load up), that’s when I caught the clue - I installed Kaspersky.
I really wanted to get pissed at the Kaspersky, but quite frankly I couldn’t - it’s lightyears better than Norton IMHO - so, I had to reboot Windows in safe mode and temporarily disable Norton. That worked, now everything’s peachy.
So anybody out there about to download a new AV program, I strongly suggest you run msconfig and shut off your old one first…
