    Windows 7 & Kaspersky Internet Security 2010


    This is my first post so forgive any mistakes ! Is anyone else having problems with 7 and Kaspersky ??
    I installed Internet Security 2010, downloaded all the updates and was amazed at how it slowed my pc at bootup, finds multiple viruses and trojans and is always telling me "databases are out of date". Have scanned with Microsoft Security Essentials and Malewarebytes and they find nothing. Have tried to contact Kaspersky and hit a brick wall.
    Dont think this version is 100% compatible with 7 !! Any thoughts ?

    Hello there! Welcome to Seven Forums.

    Have you tried re-installing KIS 2010?

    it is compatible....

    how it slowed my pc at bootup and is always telling me "databases are out of date"
    slowed up booting/datebase corrupted or out of date errors are there(albeit few in proportion) ...a check at kis forums will confirm this the solution rolled out is repair install eggh..

    scanned with Microsoft Security Essentials
    hi....if you are running both mse and kaspersky together ...unistall mse and use KIS 2010 alone...kaspersky is kind of notorious with what it runs along with and they are only a select few

    Have tried to contact Kaspersky and hit a brick wall.
    ummm...have you tried their forum....they are quick to respond

    thanks for suggestions


    Tried re-install KIS 2010 on its own, still got very slow boot and disappointing perforfmance, even with new ssd hard drive.
    Have removed KIS and installed Microsoft Security Essentials with Malewarebytes, both scanned clean, rebooted, and full speed restored (24secs boot).
    Looks like I could have saved myself £26 !!!. Thanks all.

    This is strange, First time I hear about a KIS problem with Win7. There must be another problem. MSE is ok, but KIS would be better. If I were you, I would talk to the people on the KIS forum. Maybe they have a clue.

    I'm have been using KIS2010 since last year and got no problems
    Your problem must be malware related, run a fulll scan of malwarebytes in safe mode :)

    Me too


    I am having the same issue. Here's what I know so far:
    It's the SSD that's probably causing the problem. (I have a 128 meg G.Skill Titan which has a pair of the JMicron controllers which are causing the problem).

    Apparently, a generation of SSD drives uses a controller which lags the computer when writing a ton of small files. Kaspersky seems to have a lot of file writes both to its cache and also to the log. While this wouldn't even be noticeable to a hard drive, it seems to lag on a SSD because of the wear leveling tech in the controller.

    My computer often isn't even responsive for several minutes after booting. Delete Kaspersky and my desktop is ready in about 44 seconds. With it, it's over 5 minutes, most of that time looks like everything is fine.

    Get a drive monitor program (I use procmon) and check out how much Kaspersky is writing to your drive.

    I still don't have a fix for this yet, but thought I would continue the thread.
