Default Windows ME with Kaspersky Anti-Virus--Frequent system hesitations??

I've got Windows ME with Kaspersky Anti-Virus as the virus protection
software. I had Norton Anti-virus up until a couple of months ago.
Norton corrupted itself so badly that it had to be reinstalled every
three months.

I don't know what's causing this problem, but, I suspect it might be
Kaspersky. Every time I press the [back] button to go to a previous
page, my computer freezes for about 5 or 10 seconds -- then it lets go
and goes to the previous page.

I keep the security on my computer very tight. No site access allowed
unless the site has been added to a customized privacy list. I use
Adaware and Spybot to check for any unauthorized "lurkers". I
completely scan my computer every week for viruses.

I've checked for hidden software -- there are none. I've checked for
viruses -- there are none.

Does anyone else that's using Windows ME together with Kaspersky Anti-
Virus have a frequent, brief hesitation that happens enough to want to
through the entire computer out the window??

Anyone have any ideas on how I can find out what is slowing my
computer down??

I use Process Explorer from Sysinternals. I do see KAV running in the
background more frequently than I like. The idle process also seems
to run more frequently than necessary -- I fail to see why the idle
process should be running so often when I'm actually waiting for
software to load or for websites to load...

Any ideas??

Thanks.

Barb
