ESET Smart Security

Hi

Just got this today after upgrading to KIS which slowed my PC to a crawl making it unusable.

Anyway, long story short, is there a facility (which I can't find - but I could be blind) where I can schedule a scan (I've done that) and after the scan it turns the PC off?

I used to schedule a scan every monday with KIS leave it to run and let it close PC after the scan. Is there such a thing with ESET?

TIA
Helan

Why did KIS make your machine unuseable? I've installed this on probably a hundred machines that have varying user needs and power and not one has seen any more of a slowdown than expected when an AV is installed.

KIS 2010 is fine for me.

I really dont know and neither did KAV forums so after trying to find a solution for 6 days to no avail I gave up and bought ESET. If I didn't need this PC for work I may have struggled a little bit longer but as I said, it made the PC inoperable, not just browsing, that was the least of my worries, opening any kind of prog/document doing anything.

I tried several online scans for viruses all came back clear, I cleaned the registry, used various tools recommended by KAV forums but nothing helped so I had no choice but to give up and buy ESET as I was losing work.

since uninstalling KIS and installing ESET, I dont have that problem and the PC is back to normal so it obviously isn't/wasn't a virus, more like a conflict with some kind of prog I have on the PC or something?

As I said I dont know

That's good then, can't see how it helps my question though, Thank you for your helpful input

Sorry,I know it didn't help you but hope it was a guide to others who have just started using Kaspersky.

FYI I've been using Kaspersky since Nov 2005 so I've hardly "just started using Kaspersky"
others may well do but they might not have the conflict that I had so it's a moot point imho and certainly does not help me.

Might help others though.

I had lots of problems with "Kaspersky ndis filter", still running Kaspersky Anti-virus on this machine and speed not an issue with that part disabled.

might renew it but not sure - might just take the Nod32 licence from old machine
