Re 64bit, please refer to advice from  @Schulte  in  @nexon’s post 32 bit application on 64 bit system? & an old topic, from the original Kaspersky Forum, raised by  @jameswesthead, KIS 2016 Runs as 32 bit on 64 bit Windows 10

Thank you

Thank you for your quick response.

The version is 1903 (OS Build 18362.476)

I’ve had in on here for 3 years or so.
I can’t remember how it was installed.
Steps 2 and 3 sound too complex for me.
Thank you for sharing; KIS 2016 Runs as 32 bit on 64 bit Windows 10
I don’t need to read that, I just was asking if that was the reason it ran hot because sometimes thats the problem.

I have the Microsoft Windows Defender protection on but it uses no power and no memory, so I was wondering if the stats I gave you were high or if that is just how hot KIS runs. So if there is a way to get it to use less power then please let me know. Otherwise I’ll have to live with it.
