been using for a good 4 years, license just ran out on my 2009 AV, so switched to the ISS 2010 as some kind person here gave me a free serial number froma win7 promo. anyway, i hardly use all its faeatrues, really just as an AV, with pro active defense off etc. but, my PC now takes AAAaages to boot now, never used too! my mum just bought a three user license too from PC world, hers and my dads Laptops are complaining of the same issue so she tells me!!

dont get me wrong, i loved Kaspserky in the past, just wondering if anyone else is feeling this bloat recently too?

Cheers G

I have absolutely no idea what that is, its relatively new, does that affect its chances of having it.

There is no new router sold in the last couple of years, at least, that doesn't have a SPI (Stateful Packet Inspection) firewall.

That's weird because I've been using Kaspersky Internet Security for at least a few months and loving it. Blogged & reviewed KIS2010 a few days ago on my blog. I'm in the process of reviewing Norton 360 though and as u guys said, it's no longer a system hog like a few years back

I've also noticed the same trend with Kaspersky's software slowly travelling on a down hill slope in terms of efficiency and quality - I tried the 2010 version and immediately un-installed it because of the severe impact on performance.

      The problem isn't with Epic, it's with the platform holders like Steam and Nintendo, they should be a lot more strict in their review process.

    • Microsoft updates Visual Studio Code with easier language model discovery and in-app search

      By zikalify · Posted

      Microsoft updates Visual Studio Code with easier language model discovery and in-app search by Paul Hill Microsoft has released Visual Studio Code 1.125, its latest weekly release. This week, the company has focused on discovering and installing extra language models via the Marketplace; searching the web and securely browsing over remote connections without leaving VS Code; choosing how long VS Code waits before installing extension updates; and delivering managed Copilot settings through existing device management tooling. In older versions of VS Code, extensions could contribute their own model providers, but to find these extensions, you needed the right tags to search for in the Extension view. Now, the Language Models editor gives you an Install Model Providers button that opens the Extensions view, which is filtered to extensions that contribute model providers, making it easier to find and install them. Once you install a provider, its model will appear in the model picker. If you use the integrated browser much, you can now look up information without leaving VS Code by typing a query into the integrated browser’s address bar. It will use your configured search engine, the same way a standalone browser does. You can use workbench.browser.searchEngine to pick a search engine. When the browser is opened in a remote workspace, it's now possible to proxy HTTP(S) traffic via the remote connection. This allows you to connect to any ports or services that can only be accessed from the remote machine. If you read our coverage from two weeks ago about VS Code 1.123, you might have seen that extension updates have a two-hour delay as a safety measure. In this update, Microsoft is giving you the ability to configure the time of the delay. You can find it under extensions.autoUpdateDelay. Finally, with this update, admins can deliver managed GitHub Copilot settings through native device management (MDM) channels on Windows and macOS, in addition to account-based enterprise settings files. Settings delivered via MDM appear as policy-enforced in VS Code and can’t be overridden locally. Future updates will extend the supported policy keys across Copilot surfaces. You can download the update from the Visual Studio Code website now.
    • Microsoft will finally let you sign in to Edge with a Google account

      "it opens up new doors for people who prefer using Edge, but cannot be bothered to configure a Microsoft account" You already have a Microsoft account if you are using Windows 11, because you can't set it up without one.
