| 850093 | 2010-02-09 20:29:00 | Ive had no issues with MS security untill I put it on a Vista PC(clean re-install). Cpu usage went up to 65%, even opening controll panel or add/remove seemed to trigger an AV scan of files in use/being opened. Made the PC unusable. I had to come off. Seems another MS product not fully tested/debugged before release. |

| 850094 | 2010-03-11 21:57:00 | I tried the fixes with the exclusion list but that made no difference. What nailed it for me was to run Norton uninstaller (service1.symantec.com) This PC is a Compaq which I had restored everything back to factory settings using the its' recovery partition. Of course it must have come bundled with norton, so all that was re-installed as well. Uninstalling using add/remove didn't clean it up enough apparently so I downloaded & run the norton tool. It's amazing how much of a relief it is not to hear the churning of cpu & disk read/write etc. Quiet as a mouse now...you beaut! Research with google suggests this problem cause varies but I hope this helps someone. |

| 850095 | 2010-04-01 22:56:00 | There's the recently released application update which seems to have resolved the issue here. Anybody else? | Chilling_Silence (9) | ||
| 850096 | 2010-04-12 11:16:00 | Good one mate!:clap | AZ1 (15478) | ||
| 850097 | 2010-04-12 11:44:00 | There's the recently released application update which seems to have resolved the issue here. Anybody else? So do you have an issue as to MSE at this time? If so then what? |

| 850098 | 2010-04-12 23:14:00 | Yes, CPU usage is *still* incredibly high (though admittedly better now after this update) by comparison to the likes of Avast Anti-Virus, and it interferes significantly at times with gaming :( | Chilling_Silence (9) | ||
| 850099 | 2010-04-13 00:13:00 | OK CS. I was just curious in so far as I have found MSE to be fine for me on my rig which is somewhat outdated now. AMD 4400+ with 2 Gig RAM and dual booting Win 7 Pro and Debian Linux. I have to admit that Avast worked fine as well and I was running it up until MSE came out. There again I'm not a gamer as such unless you count MS Flight Sim 2004 and I'm not even running add ons and extra scenery ( mesh ) for that. |

| 850100 | 2010-04-13 03:46:00 | 32-bit or 64-bit? Speedy was saying the issues gone for him now in 32-bit I believe? I've switched sides, I bought a Macbook, so no anti-virus there, but unfortunately my wife still has Win7 on her laptop, as do many of my clients, so I have to be able to offer advice on a reliable solution :p Flight Sim is still relatively resource-intensive isn't it? |

| 850101 | 2010-05-11 10:58:00 | Thanks for this help Chilling_Silence. I came on to PressF1 tonight to check out some help for just exactly this problem and there was your solution right before my eyes. It has worked a treat and the old machine has quietened down significantly and speeded up somewhat. Thanks again. | advena (13666) | ||
| 850102 | 2010-05-11 11:13:00 | Sorry CS. I missed your post #28. Win7 64 pro. I'm still running MSE BTW. |
