This is exactly what I experienced with Kaspersky and most of the other major AV apps.
Disabling most of Kaspersky's features will help but what is the point of paying for an app and then having to disable most of it's features?
ATM I am using free avg8 with the web surfing thing disabled. I don't use IE but disabled it anyway.
So far, it does not seem to slow my machine BUT considering it is supposed to be a combined malware/av app, it has not found even a tracking cookie?
So how effective it is remains to be seen.
Mind you the last alternative scans I performed came up clear as well.
At least AVG8 does not seem to suffer, so much, from the slew of false positives that caused me to give up on free AVG7.
