Eset Anti Virus Version: Spanning back several years to current latest version
I've had this problem for a very long time and have tried to diagnose it on and off across several years/computers/dongles. Have finally determined Eset Antivirus is the culprit. I could never figure out why doing a speed test on speedtest.net would cause my mouse cursor/system to lag during the test, and the download result was never what it should have been in Chrome.
I recently got 1200 megabits down Internet service which again I'm trying to take advantage of via a USB to Ethernet 2.5GBE adapter (tried 4 different brands, several different laptops and previously tried with 5 other brands of Gigabit to Ethernet adapters, all with Eset AntiVirus experience the same issue).
If I turned off "Web access protection" my speed test in Chrome instantly jumps up 300+ megabits to where it should be, but the CPU spikes from ekrn.exe are still there even if I disable everything in the antivirus including HIPS. As soon as I do a Chrome speed test mouse lags and cpu spikes to 30% on a quad core gen mobile Intel CPU. I would like to take advantage of my full Internet speed without having to disable web protection and have no huge cpu spikes without having to uninstall Eset, please advise, thanks.
