I'm not sure if anyone else using Kaspersky is experiencing this. I'm using Kaspersky Pure but I've seen reports of kaspersky 2011 doing the same thing.
Since yesterday, Kaspersky has taken up most of the CPU resources for as much as 1 hour minutes while doing a rootkit scan. This starts automatically about 30 minutes after turning on the PC and can't be disabled.
Prior to this it only ever took 7 minutes and wasn't very intensive. It now hogs the CPU and avp.exe is using up to 800MB of memory (it slowly rises over time a couple of times during the scan).
You can check how long the rootkit scan takes by looking at the detailed scan report in Kaspersky. And if you experience any slowness it's worth looking at what avp.exe is doing (there are two of these processes, so check them both).
I've filed a report on the Kaspersy forum and was wondering if anyone else here was experiening the same thing.
