BlazingSpeed Posted February 26, 2007 CID Share Posted February 26, 2007 Hello all... Like the subject says, I installed the Internet Security on my laptop yesterday and everything seemed to be fine. Today im in class and im lossing about 3% every min. This was with the screen on lowest brightness level, WLAN off and only using Microsoft word. Before this I had Norton's installed and i've never ran out of battery when in a 50 min class... Im thinking its the Internet Security, is it a known issue or is there a quick fix. Really dont want to resort back to nortons. Thx in advance.

BlazingSpeed Posted February 26, 2007 Author CID Share Posted February 26, 2007 Thx for the reply...Im looking into buy the retail version of AVG...also had Kaspersky in the running. Any advice on those two? As far as pc cillin went. I already uninstalled, and computers not running at 100% usage all the time. Guess it was that.

coknuck Posted February 27, 2007 CID Share Posted February 27, 2007 I have never used Kaspersky, but from what I have read here you can't go wrong with it. I use the AVG Anti-Virus and the AVG Anti-Spyware ( used to be EWIDO) and they seem to work well for me. Also I use Comodo Firewall which works real good. The best part is their all free. http://www.personalfirewall.comodo.com/ Quote Link to comment https://testmy.net/ipb/topic/17937-trend-micro-pc-cillin-internet-sec-07drastic-cut-in-battery-life-on-laptop/#findComment-210312 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Swimmer Posted March 2, 2007 CID Share Posted March 2, 2007 I went from Trend Micro 2006 to Kaspersky.. Kaspersky takes a little more time to set up but once it is it does a damn fine job.. I have not noticed any performance changes.. it is does seem to run on less memory though..
