100% cpu utilization with only 1 scan running?

[Guest oh2oh2]

At the moment running the Housecall on-line scan and notice in the Task Manag

er, "Performance tag" it say IExplorer.exe/user/cpu abt 95%, is this normal

as this is the only process running?

 

Usually when I use Housecall on-line scan there is a bar to say the approx

time it wil take but not this time. Its says "Please wait while Housecall

scan your system" but this has been going on for a few hours. I can see above

the task bar/Start, can see the word "Done" and sometimes can see that its

downloading something. Its seems pretty long time just to scan for my 80gb

hdd (pretty full). Anyone experience this? TIA

Temporarily disable your installed anti-virus application prior to beginning

the online scan. Then don't TOUCH the machine until the scan finishes.

Leave it running overnight, if necessary.

 

Tip: Run Disk Cleanup before doing any online scans.

After I increased the free space of C and run the Housecall on-line scan, it

took about 6 hours (or thats the time I away) and fund only 2 cookies. It has

improves a bit in terms of time taken to display a web page, but still not

the usual self.

An AVG 8.0 scan also comes to 'nothing". Well, guess have to plough alongand

see what ican do next. TIA

When I open the 2nd browser, it took a fair while to display (which is much

longer than usual) and thought there may be some form of infections so thats

why I run the scans. TIA

Before doing another scan, suggest doing a defrag.

Yes since you are running on on-line scan, which is NOT really on-line

btw.
