i think i found the exclusion... apparently i misunderstood what the profiles meant. I still had those checked for all files. I set them how i wanted and now it took.. so that problem is solved now. My question, what is wrong with hips now?

well. with hips off, seems like the slowness is gone. I do not see the studdering in games... fyi, the game that i was testing was batman: arkham city. right now... nothing is scheduled and jpg are excluded. and it is scanning my jpgs. I am getting this from the statistics page under scanned object. I have the scan all files disabled under threatsense on every place i see... and it is still doing it.

i have used the default in the past.. but i disable most of it now. I see it browsing the web, and especially games. just disabled hips... and rebooting.. i will report back.

no worry's... I dont plan on being on the computer much the next few days anyways. I do have hips enabled... I have turned it off, but it wants to reboot which i can do in about an hour. Can I email you my xml config? or PM it?

would it help if i exported my config for you to look at?

I have a thread opened up for troubleshooting.

on a related note... can eset 4 be installed on win8.1? just asking because that was by far the fastest version.

as i stated in another thread, eset 7 is the slowest of the bunch. I run win8.1 with 16G ram and 24 TB of disk with ssd as boot volume. I get studdering. I have tried to disable as much as I can. It seems to want to scan everything even with the exclusions list active. I tend to enable only certain high risk extension. I am really bummed because this is still my favorite av but have not been happy with performance. I have reinstalled it and await your help on it.

I will open up a separate thread for this... and I will reinstall it again.

We'd really like to investigate your issue as version 6/7 should be the lightest in terms of footprint thanks to LiveGrid. I assume that you use default settings and have Smart optimization as well as LiveGrid enabled, do you? Please create a new topic with this issue or send me a pm with information if disabling real-time protection or any of the other protection modules makes the performance issue go away. I can answer that now... disabling real time scan does not help the performance issue... just uninstalling eset does it. I am not running it now because of this. And to add, I was serious about every version getting slower. Eset 4 AV screamed on the same hardware with windows 7.

ok... then tell me why when i remove eset, my system gets much faster. I have tried it many times and over several reloads. It impacts my gaming badly and you see it studdering which i do not have with windows defender or avast.

amd 1090T overclocked to 3.8Ghz with 16GB memory and 24 TB of disk with 256G SSD and nvidia titan. It isn't my box. I uninstall it and load up something like avast or just use windows defender and my system is much faster. eset 4 was much faster on my old q6600. no... just eset and just run the av... not the full suite.

eset 7 is heavy... heavier than 6 which was heavier than 5 which was heavier than 4. Man I long for the eset 4 nod32 days. I wonder if eset 4 would run on win8.1

i have told nod32 to exclude several extensions. But if i go into Protection Statistics, i see they are getting scanned regardless. Is this a bug in 7?
