F-secure is acting bad !!!!
For the last couple of days, I am finding that F-secure has been bogging down my PC and giving me grief. I first noticed it when I downloaded a few patches for The witcher. After downloading these patches, F-secure would make the folder, where I had downloaded these patches in, unresponsive. It would take up half of my CPU(50%) and computer would get laggy. My solution was to disconnect from the internet and shut off F-secure. Everything went back to normal. After I installed the patches I turned F-secure back on. That's when I discovered I could no longer access the internet. I had a connection but I couldn't get firfox to run or windowslive or any other app for that matter. I reset my PC and everything was back as it should. Anyway, I start up the witcher and nothing happens. Hmmm. I look in task manager and find that the exe. Is running. I attempt to close it and nothing happens. So I restart my PC and and again disconnect from the internet and shut down f-secure. I run witcher and it runs. Yesterday I installed Battle for middle earth and when I attempt to play it, again it won't run. I don't get a warning or a permission from F-secure asking if its OK to run this prog. To fix this problem I went int F-secure settings/virus and spyware scanner and changed the option from always ask me, to, if unclear, ask me. I changed deep guard to the same and now BFME runs fine, like it should. I haven't had to change anything in fissure since i installed it. I almost always got a permission when I ran a program for the first time but for the last few days it doesn't even ask if the newly installed programs are allowed internet access. I run Windowsxp service pack 3 on a p4 3.0 with 4gigs 3200ram. I am hoping that there is a simple solution because I use my pc at least 4 hours per day. Any thoughts or suggestions would be very appreciative.

Hi Techie,
Have you tried enabling gaming mode as you problems seem to be related to games?
You can do that with a right click on the F-Secure system tray icon, and selecting Gaming Mode.
