ka14 0 Posted November 11, 2014 Share Posted November 11, 2014 My eset smart security is permanently using too much cpu, 40% at least, most of the time gar more. Despite all the program starts maintainable routines at times it wants to and not to the ones I instructed. Why do I pay for such a nuisance??? I want a security program silently running in the background. And: I am completely virus-free, so this cannot be the reason for the strange behavior. Well, maintainance again, cpu usage: 100%...the third today... Version 7 was much better.... Link to post Share on other sites

Update and especially the compilation of update files could also account for the higher cpu use. If possible, create a dump of ekrn via Task manager when the issue occurs. If you're using a 64-bit Windows, the best would be to create the dump using Procdump tool by Microsoft (run procdump -ma ekrn.exe). Link to post Share on other sites
