ESET Smart Security 5 Help


Question

Hey guys,

Does anyone else use ESET Smart Security 5 or the Antivirus here and notice system startup extremely slow, or it thrashes your hard drive at startup or something? I bought Smart Security 5 because a few people recommended it to me, for few days it seem'd fine but now my System startup is as slow as hell, browsing Chrome my pc will lock up completely for around a minute and ESET seems to be thrashing my hard drive.. not very happy at moment with what its doing, it seems to be scanning same files over and over again. Surely it should keep a record of what its already scanned with the checksum of that file or something...

What settings can i change in smart security 5 to make it less agressive with scanning :\ can't seem to find what to change or what I can do & importantly does anyone else have this?

Matt.

Hello,

It shouldn't do that. My initial thought is a conflict with another program that is running in the background, but without knowing the specs of your system, what other applications are running, and so forth it is difficult to say for certain where the problem might lie. Have you checked over in their support forum for assistance?
