    KIS 2010 is bogging down my system, so I'd like to set the affinity to core 1, but I keep getting "access denied". :mad:

    Vista x64 SP2.

    In what way is KIS bogging down your system?

    Generally you have to run one full system scan after the first installation to sognificalntly improve performance.

    Also - do not update KIS and run a scan at the same time.

    If your problem is due to a memory leak - download it again (I know, same file number) and instal it again.

    I get folder and program open lag, 2-3 seconds sometimes and when it happens my CPU pins to 100%. My CPU idles higher too, between 8-10% usually.

    I only had anti-virus last year, I upgraded to internet security for the firewall.

    It shouldn't be the "scan whole PC issue" but you may try it.

    Remove external drives to speed it up and try a full system scan.

    K, I'll give it a try and see if it helps.

    I'm more puzzled by the fact I can't set affinity though, that's my main issue.
