Hi,

I'm using Kaspersky AV 2010, and I've noticed recently in Firefox (DownThemAll download manager) that my download speed has been significantly reduced after installing Kaspersky (from 450 kb/s to 30 kb/s!!).

I can solve the issue temporarily by pausing protection and then resuming it again. But it's getting frustrating since I have to do this every few hours.

Also another issue I have with the AV (which could be related) is that it forces all network traffic to go through it! (Nod32 didnt do that).

Any idea what could be causing this?

Your help is much appreciated
