| 848359 | 2010-01-13 09:22:00 | I installed MS Security Essentials last week, and now my boot time has gone from 45s to nearly 3 mins. It shows the Win7 splash screen, and then the HDD stops for a couple of minutes, then it goes to the welcome screen and then into windows. I ran MSconfig and chose the diagnostic option, which disabled all the startup programs, and it booted in 45s again. I then re-ticked MSSE (nothing else), and back to 3 mins. It's pretty clear that MSSE is the culprit - does anyone know why it's doing this, and more importantly, how to fix it? MSSE is running at the default options. | Lizard (2409) | ||

It may be doing a startup file check or other things on startup. Happened to me with ESET. |

| 848361 | 2010-01-13 09:32:00 | It does slow things down, you'll see entries in event viewer. You'll probably have to wait till MS bring an update out. It can also take the CPU usage to 100%, with some programs | Speedy Gonzales (78) | ||
| 848362 | 2010-01-13 17:42:00 | Turn off scanning at startup and I have turned off the scheduled scan and just run it when I am going out solved both issues | gary67 (56) | ||
| 848363 | 2010-01-14 08:04:00 | I looked for a scan at startup option, but couldn't find it. Directions, please? | Lizard (2409) | ||
| 848364 | 2010-01-14 08:08:00 | Probably have to remove its entry in startup. Altho this wont help, since the culprit still runs (mspmpeng.exe). You'll have to kill realtime scanning | Speedy Gonzales (78) | ||
| 848365 | 2010-01-14 09:20:00 | I found that boot time is quicker with MSSE than it was with Avast! LL |

| 848366 | 2010-01-15 01:07:00 | I have seen no problems on the 8 or so machines I have installed it on. Funny that it seems to behave badly at times. There is no scan on startup provision so it can't be stopped!! |

| 848367 | 2010-01-15 01:26:00 | A lot has to do with the power of the machine as well. Several Xp's I have put it on, no problems, BUT if the CPU is on the smaller side :sleep Example, a underpowered HP / XP only had a celeron 1GHz CPU MSSE took around 4 minutes just to start after booting into the desktop. | wainuitech (129) | ||
| 848368 | 2010-01-15 04:58:00 | Even with a dual core 2.8, it takes longer to load. When MSSE is installed. Only diff I've noticed is, there isnt a lot of high cpu usage in Win7. Like there is with XP. | Speedy Gonzales (78) | ||
