    whatever it was,uninstalling Kis cured his problem,and thats all that really matters in the end,even though Kis by itself may not have been the problem

    this forum is biased!
    well it was causing chkdsk errors and causing chkdsk to run automatically,

    i cant see what conflicts as it was on a fresh formatted installation, does it not work with windows? o_O

    any idea if KasperskyOnline scanner still uses NTFS Object IDs / ADS ?

    when I tried i got no OID on files i scanned ... i remember before it added it ...

    if true then it's good change

    Just reloaded and ran the KAV online scanner and confirmed your observation. Yes, this is a change for the better.

    This was the online scanner, not the installed commercial product.

    Technically, there is no conceivable reason for having them a part of an online scanner, aside from keeping a common code base. The argument of providing a time saving measure is moot for a once or very infrequently used online scanner.

    No registry tweaks performed.
