| 613434 | 2007-11-22 01:49:00 | I just meant I figured out why my CPU usage was going up during the scan, it was because I was running a scan. I know thats a problem but not a big one atm. I'd much rather figure out why my CPU is at 40% while not running WoW.exe and 100% the entire time running WoW.exe So far I've: ran a spyware scan Ran a virus scan updated my card drivers |

| 613438 | 2007-11-22 07:03:00 | Its still crap, whether its in the top 5 or 10. | Speedy Gonzales (78) | ||
| 613439 | 2007-11-22 07:14:00 | I agree. Buy Bitdefender | JUST INSANE (6682) | ||
| 613440 | 2007-11-22 08:08:00 | Its still crap, whether its in the top 5 or 10. It's there because it's not actually that bad at detecting viruses, although the same can't be said about the resource usage, I have notice the memory usage has improved with the 2007 version. Personally I use NOD32 now, that's in the top 3 along with BitDefender and Kaspersky |

| 613441 | 2007-11-22 16:18:00 | I used to have much the same problem with fs9. One fault that emerged from a lengthy investigation. AMD dual core cpu's were hopeless.Switching to single core 4000+ improved things. Today with an Intel x6800 the problem has disappeared. But I notice that quite often my cpu usage is at 100%. From the explanation I have been given it seems the cpu does this when it is holding too much info.When necessary it refreshes itself and grabs all spare capacity. Properly managed it does not interfere with the game. Another thing with on-line multiplayer games. You may have a problem that is nothing to do with your computer. Someone else may have a problem that is relayed to yours. A good rule to follow is, before going on line shut down all unnecessary processes. You have to do this everytime as lots will start up automaticaly after a re-boot. With flight simulator games you can play with under 30 processes running. |
