VanBuren Posted December 7, 2006 CID Share Posted December 7, 2006 i thought i would give it a try since many ppl are very happy with it so i bought it a few weeks ago, but having problems with it the problems is only with speedtesting, flat download seems to work good testing speed against Testmy.net, used to be around 30 Mbps down, now its very inconsistent. Between 3 to 7 Mbps. I see it starts download the testfile in network graph, at 3 MB/s, then it stops and browser starts to load the file. Its like the antivirus program has to scan it before it loads in my browser. Also, testing speed against speedtest.net servers it give me cached results, same goes for speakeasy test. I haven't dig very deep into the issues yet, but i was thinking if someone here has the same product and same problems and hopefully a solution VanBuren Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blunted 2 Posted December 7, 2006 CID Share Posted December 7, 2006 yea van that A-V messes with your download speed and gives you more than normal. i can only get 30 mb but with kaspersky i can score 38 mb+ to all speedtests i have tested on. as for security it is awesome Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Swimmer Posted December 7, 2006 CID Share Posted December 7, 2006 Well.. sounds like there is some good security built into it.. live scan during download that is pretty impressive.. Is there a way to turn it off? As far as caching results sounds like they may have implemented some type of proxy server, since it takes so long to download stuff due to the live scan, so they cache large files so when you request them again they are ready to go. How about overall system performance? Slower/Faster? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How about overall system performance? Slower/Faster? i havent noticed any gain/loss in performance compared to Norton, but the AV scan seems to be faster then Norton. Im back on my old rig, so every gain in perfornance means much these days... i think your right Swimmer, it using some type of proxy, i just neeed to find out if its possible to disable this Blunted do you know how to disable this? Did you have to uninstall it to get real scores? VanBuren Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
