Hi, listers, , thanks for your help. Removing temporary files didn't solve
things after all, though it did speed things up. After an uninstall and
reinstall of Esset, I continued to have stability issues and even a couple
of new problems with MS Office. However, just about a half hour ago, I
restored my system to an earlier point but with Esset installed, and the
issues seem to have cleared up. I have no idea why they started and really
don't know why system restore fixed them. I did learn some useful
information from Google searches which may help if the problems resurface,
especially the MS Office issues. Will spare further details.

I have used Eset for a number of years, both under XP with Window-eyes
and under windows 7 with window-eyes as well. I have found it to be
stable and not to put any noticeable drag on the system. Do you have
another security software program installed at the same time that it
might be conflicting with? If I were having your experiences I would
not want it either, but I am suggesting that maybe there is an issue
that is not just the fault of Eset. At one time in order to see if it
was causing an unrelated problem, I uninstalled it and installed
Microsoft security esentials and right away noticed a huge drag on the
system in comparison even after MSE was done with its initial scan. So
for the person that suggested that MSE is the end all solution and
blindly favoring MSE with no comparison, my findings in that
comparison were much different. In addition, eset allows you to decide
to temperarily allow some inbound or outbound traffic, not just block
or unblock unconditionally.

You are missing Microsoft Security Essential. That is, it will not bloat
your system. Also, a back up of all your system and programs before any
virus occur is a good Virus protection.
Take care

Subject: Esset Smart Security4
I just purchased this program, as Nod32 has been highly recommended by GW
Micro and Window-Eyes users. I know that others have tried Smart Security,
so I thought I would try it, too. I have Window-Eyes 7.2 with Windows XP
and
the latest updates. After installing Esset, I noticed my machine growing
slower and more unstable. I installed it last week. I tried repairing it
today, and problems still persisted, so I have uninstalled it completely
for
now. It was causing all my programs to hang. After I rebooted, the
problems
returned right away. I had difficulty getting on the internet as well as
running MS Word, Outlook Express, etc. Window-Eyes wouldn't run properly,
even after unloading it and restarting it again. After uninstallation, the
computer is running normally, but I don't want to be unprotected for long.
What am I missing? Thanks.
