| had the problem of slow start due to ekrn loading during startup and edited the startup of other programs(IMs and Office related quickstarts..) put a delay on these processes for 5 seconds and you will see a more fluid startup. or you can choose to load these programs as you use them rather than having memory hogged by usless programs | |||

| Best AV imo. To those of you who thinks it eats up too much cpu power, try the following: Change the "autoupdate every hour" to every 3rd/5th hour (or update manually) Disable the "startup file check" Uncheck "Advanced heuristics" in Realtime-scanner options. If that fails to help, then you have to reinstall your computer. | |||
