Windows Forum / Windows Vista / Performance and Maintainance / September 2006PC-cillin interfers with other programs just after startup.
PC-cillin's antivirus program seems to hog the computer for the first 90 seconds or so after startup. It is so bad that one cannot even get Task Manager to run until PC-cillin has reduced its load. A couple of other programs fail because they cannot start in a reasonable time. Has anyone else suffered this annoyance too? Colin yes I have I was playing nascar racing 2003 and pc-cillin started updating an my game stoppped working. > PC-cillin's antivirus program seems to hog the computer for the first 90 > seconds or so after startup.

Vista boots fine but trend holds things up after that. I don't like security suites & this confirms it to me. It doesn't even check for updates while loading as I do this myself after it loads. AVG was faster although it has the problem with not being able to get the database otherwise I would have this installed until NOD is compatible with Vista. > yes I have I was playing nascar racing 2003 and pc-cillin started updating > an my game stoppped working.

Get something that tells you what they do instead, like AdAware and Spyblaster, both free. And keep your fingers crossed Zone Labs comes out with something Vista Compatible soon....... > I find PCcillan slow to load at first I thought it was something Vista was > trying to load but then hovered over the icon in the taskbar and realised it [quoted text clipped - 16 lines] > > > suffered this annoyance too? > > > Colin When I first came across the AVG issue I did stop uisng UAC but after reading so much advice on the importance of UAC especially when we can't use our normal security plus the fact services run at a lower level with UAC enabled I had to start using it again. AVG at first thought i was the only one with the issue and although they went through everything to help they could not re-produce it - now they know it wasn't just me. I am considering installing 5728 over the weekend so will have to make a decision on which AV - would love to use AVG if I could keep UAC enabled. I am not that keen on Defender so could live without this but dilemma about UAC as last advice to me was to keep this enabled. I watched Trend loading last night and it really is long even when I have features of this disabled - dread to think how long everything would take to load! > AVG runs fine both in 5600 and in 5728.
