| 835301 | 2009-12-20 03:11:00 | Just installed on Step son's comp, he had Avast which flagged a trojan in win32 folder but couldn't get rid of it. So installed MSE ran a quick scan it pulled and deleted 4 Trojans. Done some other scans with TR and Malware bytes all came up clean so it seems MSE did the trick. I have found it only slows systems down if you have it set to do a scheduled scan and not ticked the box to run only when idle | gary67 (56) | ||
| 835302 | 2009-12-20 03:17:00 | Thats what I've heard, but that cant be the case. I disabled scheduling and the options under it. It still hogs system resources and the cpu usage goes to 100% | Speedy Gonzales (78) | ||
| 835303 | 2009-12-20 03:28:00 | On my backup machine it was hogging resources so I just turned of the scheduled scan completely and now it runs sweet | gary67 (56) | ||
| 835304 | 2009-12-20 03:46:00 | Must have been a screwup in windows 7 x64 then. Since thats what it was happening in. I've gone back to vista x64, till the probs in win 7 x64 have been fixed | Speedy Gonzales (78) | ||
| 835305 | 2009-12-20 03:56:00 | Run this (support.microsoft.com) Thanks worked a treat. |

| 835307 | 2009-12-20 04:48:00 | Odd I'm running it in XP home 32 bit on 2 machines, Win 7 64 bit and Vista 32 bit and since tweaking the settings all are fine. It was the XP machines that gave me trouble initially | gary67 (56) | ||
| 835308 | 2009-12-20 04:54:00 | I've put it back on Vista x64, to test it, and the file that usually goes too 100% hasnt moved for say the last 1/2 hr - 40 mins (its still on 00). Whereas Win7 x64 went to 100% CPU usage nearly every 1-2 mins ! | Speedy Gonzales (78) | ||
| 835309 | 2009-12-21 16:56:00 | 8 MB Should do :) My XP home fell over when I tried MS antivirus. Runs fine now that I've removed it. |
