📎 AI Summary:
The thread discusses issues with an antivirus program that continuously scans, causing slow responses from other applications. The original poster seeks help controlling the scanning frequency, as setting it to check updates once daily does not prevent constant scanning. A later contributor suggests checking rootkit scanning settings and recommends manual updates, implying that frequent automatic updates may be unnecessary for routine browsing. Overall, the users express a shared concern about balancing security with system performance.

This AV seems pretty good, with one exception...it seems as though it never stops scanning, which causes other programs to respond slowly. I set it to check updates only once a day, early in the morning, hoping that it would only scan with a new update, but that isn't the case.

I've gone through the settings, trying to find a way to control scanning intervals, but have failed to find anything. Does anyone have an idea of a fix?

Seems I'm late with the answer but maybe this information may be helpful for other people.
Check if you have disabled searching of rootkits. Also I have kis and install all updates by hand.
To me, it's unnecessary to update the base of viruses everyday as the risk, to catch a real virus, is low if
you surf the same sites day by day in the main.
