I was at Fry's here in Houston and they have a great deal on this anti-virus where if you send in the mail-in rebate it's free. So I picked it up. First time I've have a full security suite in a LONG time.

I install it and there's a ton of little things it needs to do. Right now it's running two different scans for some reason. The computer is choppy as hell and I'm hoping that changes. I can barely get my mouse to the right spot without it skipping halfway across the screen.

Anyway I try visiting websites like facebook or others and it loads but doesn't load the full page. Just the blue part at the top but nothing else. Anyone know where the settings might be for me to get this to setup right? I'm digging through it but frankly my computer is running at a snails pace. I don't know if it should be doing that or not. I have a tri-core processor with 4gb memory. I hope that's enough I don't want to have to spend more on upgrading this comp.

Ok turns out the issue is with the CA suite and torrents. I was wanting to do a split install of windows 7 and ubuntu so I went to download it via torrent. I don't know why but when pulling up the processes I see ccEvtMgr.exe at 250+MB of memory and spiking to 30% of CPU sometimes more. I'm guessing it's trying to actively scan a torrent as I'm downloading it? Does anyone know what I can do to fix this?

Secondly if it's not possible to fix this do you think there's anyway I can get my money back by returning the software? I mean this is crap that isn't explained anywhere in the manual and if it's going to kick over 250MB of memory and use over 30% of a triple core processor I don't want it. However if someone knows how to fix it I'll give it a shot.

Set the torrent destination folder/working folder as an exemption, or have it only scan that at certain times. That way it won't try and auto-scan it constantly as the files changes. There should be an option to set exemptions in there, just make sure you pick it up on the big scans every so often.
