Copying and deleting speeds slow

guys recently my copy speeds have reduced significantly it takes about five minutes to copy 1.4gb within my hard disk.... i have used tera copy but it is still slow .... and copying gets freezed at 5 seconds remaining but after about 3 minutes it closes and files have been copied.... please help me out guys ..... thanx

What antivirus tool are you using?

thank you for helping me out UsernameIssues..... Im using kaspersky :)

You are welcome.

If you are willing - just as a test - uninstall Kaspersky - then install MSE.

My thinking is that an update to Kaspersky might have impacted things for the worse.

okai i can but il have to buy it again if the problem persists and its expensive! Anywayz il try and let u kno thanx

If Kaspersky won't let you uninstall and re-install without paying again, then it is time to leave them.

true that ..... i will uninstall and let u know whether the problem persists

i uninstalled kaspersky completely ... but still the copy speed is slow and it gets freezed for about 2 minutes when it says "5 seconds remaining"

okai i shall run it and consult you thanx for helping a noob like me :)
