actionmystique 1 Posted August 10, 2014 Share Posted August 10, 2014 Hello, I'm using ESET NOD32 Linux 4.0.81 on Ubuntu 14.04 Desktop. Every week, I run an automatic in-depth scan; the issue is that when it runs, almost nothing else can be done on the (multi-task) system because ESET monopolizes almost 100% of HDD I/O. There are 3 ways I can think of to solve that issue: 1) provide a STOP/PAUSE feature 2) provide the ability to scan only when the system is idle 2) provide the ability to limit the % of allowed HDD/SSD IOPS (or whatever other media ESET is scanning), although I doubt it can be done on Linux desktop. I feel the first 2 are almost compulsory for a modern AntiVirus software and are already available on many other similar softwares. Regards.

rugk 397 Posted August 10, 2014 Share Posted August 10, 2014 (edited) 1 and 2 are already included. during a scan you are able to click on the pause or on the cancel button to pause or cancel a scan. normally a scan can be automatically performed when the screensaver is running, the logon screen is shown or the computer is locked. And this two answers are for Windows programs. I don't know how it is with the Linux version, but you are at the wrong forum here. I would suggest that a moderator moves with topic to the Linux forum. BTW: Why you are running an in-depth scan? A normal smart scan should use much less resources.
