Webroot AV+AS System Resource Heavy
does anyone else have this problem with Webroot SpySweeper Anti-Virus with Anti-Spyware?

It uses 100% CPU for 2minutes at windows start then when im using my DVD conversion tools it uses 50% CPU as if its scanning every single thing thats run or written....

I have disabled many shields but this still persists.. now while it is good protection I wouldnt now recommend it because of this.. unless you have a 3Ghz Dual-Core CPU its no good...

My CPU is 2Ghz with 512K L2 cache and is quite good, i used to have Kaspersky and SpyBot and never had this bother on

I have an Athlon XP 2000 (1.71 Ghz) processor. But I use Webroot's Spysweeper only. So far so good.

You mentioned SSweeper with antivirus and at the bottom you mentioned Kaspersky free antivirus.Your not running both are you?Kaspersky can be sensitive to realtime scanners and other antiviruses.
