Uninstall Kaspersky for a moment.
Well I uninstalled kaspersky, seems a little better, still big cpu usage jumps when I open even windows explorer from 1% to 55% for a second, don't know if that is normal or not. I noticed that svhost.exe spikes when I open it though, what should I do next?
I see, well I notice that my internet speed seems to be upa bit. Kaspersky was great though, what would be the best thing to replace it with?
Edit: Holy crap the speed of everything is so much better, things are opening and closing super fast... wow O_O Thanks man, any suggestions on what I can get for protection and still maintain this performance?
Agreed!
As long as the CPU usage isn't staying at the 85% you mentioned in the OP, then you should be OK.
My spikes shown here are opening task manager and an explorer window; nothing to worry about unless, as i say, it's getting pinned there.
MSE is the way forward, it's free too!
Another thing that I experienced before was a 3-4 second run of 100% usage after I woke my laptop up from sleep, I don't know if it will do the same now as I haven't tested it. Is it normal, or should that not happen?
And what would you'll recommend for protection that is good but will not slow my computer at all?
I see, thank you all for the help you gave me. In the matter of a couple hours you found out how to make my computer run perfect again. You guys are truly awesome! Thanks again!
I bet it had to do with Kaspersky I had problems with it also my IE would take 5-10 seconds to load up with 100% CPU..
The the security protection I use is Norton Internet Security 2010 it is fast I have never notice a decrease in speed..a free one is MSE (Microsoft Security Essentials) I like it alot..use it on my old XP computer..with Windows Firewall..
EDIT: Glad we can Help...(and again to I'm to slow..lol)
