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 comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Marcos 4,304 Posted November 11, 2014 Administrators Share Posted November 11, 2014 Couldn't it be that an on-demand or startup scan is running? 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 comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
