Questions on KIS2011

[Avinash]

Well, long list of queries. I will try to answer as many as possible.

If you want KIS to ask you for every detection what to do, just go to General settings>>interactive protection and untick "select the action automatically". Also, go to File antivirus>> action on threat ..>> and untick select action automatically.

For every application, just go to application settings>> and untick load rules from kaspersky security network.

Also, you should enable all the modules instead of fine tuning them. I am using it for last 2 years and i will tell you default settings work best without any problems. You should enable all the modules that you have disabled.

I do have utorrent and KIs doesnt make a diff. May be its because you are playing too much with its settings.

Thanks Avi.

I did the following changes as per ur suggestion:
General settings>>interactive protection and untick "select the action automatically".
File antivirus>> action on threat ..>> and untick select action automatically [prompt for action]
go to application settings>> and untick load rules from kaspersky security network.

I'm still not comfortable enabling all the modules....and yes looking for a solution on utorrent speed.

Yes the modules are a bit complicated.

Regarding utorrent there are 3 things that determine speed:

1. ISP throttling: Some ISPs prevent p2p connections, this could affect download speed. ( I dont think this is your problem Grr )

2. Seeds: A torrent must have a greater number of seeds than the number of peers in order to provide good download speed.
Seeders are the people who have finished downloading the files completely and are "feeding" downloads for others, they sort of act like a server.
Peers are those who are downloading and uploding at the same time. They download missing files and upload whatever they have

Eg: A torrent with 20 seeds and 10 peers will be faster than a torrent with 10 seeds and 20 peers.

3. Cap your upload/download speed: You must not allow 100% of upload speed, it will actually slow down your download speed.

Welcome.

you can trust me on that on enabling all modules and you will even forget that you have KIS installed as i do. I only think abt KIS only when my license is about to expire.
