the overheating again

(read this too), and yes, this too, but what we came here to ramble on about is the laptop because the laptop is definitely overheating as i sit here without the fan and kaspersky is driving with first a download of databases and now a rootkit scan i did not schedule or authorize or ask for and i wish the dang kaspersky total security 2015 software had an "ask me" mode, that is, "do not start a scan without asking" since it does not have a "do not start a scan while the user is typing on the keyboard or otherwise using the computer the user bought and paid for and would like to use without slow down or interruption" mode... yeah, kaspersky is pissing me off again and if it overheats the laptop i just may give it up on the next licensing renewal cycle... it's been stuck on 45% scan for ten minutes and the harddrive is spinning madly and the laptop is just getting hotter and hotter and if i try to do anything beyond typing into this text box it slows to a crawl (and has frozen in the past) so why am i connected to a public wi-fi and even trying to do anything other than type words into this box... oh, because i would like to use my computer tonight, of course, how rude of me...

how sarcastic of me too... and how intrusively rude of kaspersky... so i disconnected... since kaspersky took over the laptop, i decided to disconnect from the public network and suddenly the root scane jumped from 45% to 65% in less than fifteen seconds... the laptop is still way too hot... time for chocolate...

narf :)
