So I decided to give Kaspersky a try, I get free licenses from my bank for KIS 2013
I installed it and began using my machine, and immediately had problems
Web pages either took forever to load or never loaded at all
I went though all the settings to try to work out what was causing it and by trial and error worked out that it is not 1 setting alone, it is any one of a few that bring browsing to an almost dead end standstill if they are enabled.
The modules I have had to disable to be able to use the net normally are:
Mail Anti-Virus
IM Anti-Virus
Web Anti-Virus
Application Control
System Watcher
Anti-Spam
Anti-Banner
If any one of the above are enabled, my browsing is crippled.
-
The modules I left enabled are:
General Settings Protection
File Anti-Virus
Firewall
Network Attack Blocker
-
My question is, am I still adequately protected with 75% of the security suite disabled ?
If I unzip malware samples it denies access to them and deletes them, but am I still protected from infected sites with web AV disabled ?
