You are part of our family, now, and will be treated as such.

i have been using kis for two years and always found it to be ok these probs started about a month ago (blue screens)

 

[CarlTR6]

just updating is there a prob with tune up utilities ?

Not specifically; but it is totally unnecessary - and tuneup utilities can degrade performance and cause system problems. As it was explained to me - the core operating system is a closed system. These vendors are just guessing at what may improve performance. They do not have access to the core system coding. And the core is very different from XP and even Vista. Therefore you are relying on a third party's best guess as to what will improve the system.

In short, what used to work in XP, may in fact cause problems in Win 7. There is no third party software out there that can and will improve Win 7's performance - at least not at this time. Ditch it and let Win 7 take care of itself - including the registry.

So far so good.

It may turn out that kis is not the problem, but since it is a known problem on some systems, we have to do a process of elimination - trial and error.

Once we get you running smoothly, you can try kis again and see what happens.

Great to hear! Fingers crossed!

I would suggest staying with MSE no matter what happens. Just a subjective opinion, there is no right or wrong.

 

[brianzion]

its scanning on quick scan at the moment about half way on the green bar

I sure won't argue that.

 

[brianzion]

so was a driver of kis causing the processor to sort of freeze up then?

 

[richc46]

If it works properly, now and all you did was uninstall Kis, then yes. I think it was a conflict between kis and another program, since you said that it worked for 2 years.

 

[CarlTR6]

Brian, I honestly don't know and I don't know if anyone does. You are not the first to have had this problem with KIS by any means. If it helps, most of the third party anti-malware suites create problems with Win 7.

 

[brianzion]

right i may as well leave it on for a bit and see if i get any more crashes but i will miss kis

 

[richc46]

Thank you for the very kind words and the generous rep.

We made a good team on this one Carl.

thats ok i think this is the best forum site for windows 7 on the net. well its done the first scan and everything seems ok so i guess i will get back to you if any bsod pops up i will write on kis forums and tell them of the problems i have had seeing that the new kiss 2011 has only just come out of beta stage and maybe they need to do bug checks so they can fix it.

 

[brianzion]

is windows defender ok to turn on i have had it turned off for 6 months?

Brian, thank you very much for the rep. That was thoughtful of you. I am glad you are running smoothly.

Don't forget to update those older drivers and/or the programs they are associated with. However, run for a while first and create a restore point or a system image before you upgrade.

If you have any further problems, be sure to post back and let us know. I have enjoyed working with you.

Richard, thank you for your help. We do make a good team - except you are much faster than me - no fair!

Defender not needed with MSE. MSE has the defender function included.
