Re: Help multiple avp.exe n avz.exe on task manag.
avp.exe (belongs to Kaspersky Internet Security Suite) and avz.exe (belongs to AVZ scanner) are normally legitimate files. However, they can also be malware. It's hard to know if those files are the legitimate ones or not without any further info. Please read this sticky: If you think your computer is infected....

Re: Help multiple avp.exe n avz.exe on task manag.
Hi Panda777, Welcome to TSF!
 You might have better success with the Kaspersky On-Line Active Scanner. Try it and see if it helps...but be sure to continue with "The 5 Steps". Kind Regards,

Re: Help multiple avp.exe n avz.exe on task manag.
It could be due to a multitude of causes, so lets get you underway with completing those "5 Steps" and your logs posted in the HJT Help Support Forum, first, and worry about 'speed' etc later.

Re: Help multiple avp.exe n avz.exe on task manag.
Quote:
In all probability, I'd say that you have 512Mb RAM installed with 64Mb of it being used for your on-board graphics, which is quite normal. The slowness of the computer having only 448Mb RAM to operate with would cause it to 'choke' some of the time, especially if you have alot of programs running in the background. To determine just what is running in the background; Go Start > Run > in the box type msconfig > startup. Here there will be a list of all the programs that are 'vying for first place' when you start your computer; thus, slowing it down. Perhaps if you post a screenshot of your startup programs in msconfig, we might be able to assist you with what is not really needed at startup. Please read this article: How to Post a Screenshot to TSF , as it will help you to show us the startups. Kind Regards,
