1. Re: Lagging in CS3 Extended due to Antivirus permissions
John Joslin Jan 3, 2009 2:16 AM (in response to Larashots)Doesn't surprise me.
That ZoneAlarm 8 has caused untold problems! I had it on my laptop and it totally stopped Windows closing down.
The tales on their forum were catastrophic. The only solution was to revert to Version 7. (Bit like CS4 ;) )
I will move to Kaspersky when the sub runs out. -
2. Re: Lagging in CS3 Extended due to Antivirus permissions
Rob Keijzer Jan 3, 2009 3:11 AM (in response to Larashots)For the record, I have mcAfee Internet Security Suite and that doesn't seem to cause any trouble with PSCS4 (or older versions, for that matter) on both desktop and laptop computers.

John, I had an enormous lag in shut down times, too! Until you mentioned it, I never made the connection with ZA & those shut down delays. I ended up installing a Microsoft service that helps with slow log off. lol
Rob, thank you for the recommendation; I will certainly look into McAfee! It will be nice to not have to use an additional service just so my computer will shut down as quickly as it's supposed to! :P
Besides that, there is something wrong with an 'upgraded' AV that blocks program features without asking. :O -

(Don_Gough) Jan 8, 2009 2:08 PM (in response to Larashots)Before going to McAfee, do some research on AV programs - you may save yourself a LOT of trouble! -

I'm with Don. I had major lag probs and when I disabled McAfee, I had a major increase in speed. I'm going to take Don's advice and check other AV programs. -

Larashots Jan 8, 2009 4:52 PM (in response to Larashots)Thanks a lot, Don and Ron. ;) You might get a chuckle when I tell you that "look into" (for me) means: search techie forums, browse through user reviews/feedback, ask people I know, do some more readin'... :p
You can imagine how long it takes me to finally buy anything this way. lol
Good lookin' out, peeps! -

John Joslin Jan 8, 2009 10:46 PM (in response to Larashots)Read impartial reviews and tests in the computer magazines to get a feel for what's available. -

Larashots Jan 10, 2009 12:47 PM (in response to Larashots)Yes, thank you for that, John. I am always torn in my searches because honest feedback doesn't necessarily indicate intellegent *and* impartial feedback. :p
Both things are most important to me when deciding what I'm going to install on my 'baby'! :)
Many thanks again. ;)
