When I waken my machine from Standby, it is frequently snail-slow (vs the
normal very quick response). Checking Task Manager at those times shows MsMpEng.exe using up to 98% of the CPU (Pentium IV) and 50 MB or so of RAM. Is this normal for One Care downloading activity, or is there some Settings adjustment I can make to reduce that overwhelming load? I'm reasonably certain that my machine is clean, and the One Care Firewall doesn't show any strangers. Advice?? |

I also have Live OneCare, but haven't experienced this kind of issue. Keep an eye on it, if it continues, I'd expand your evilware scanning. Here's a link to a short list of utilities just in case: Short List of Utilities for Vista |

should go away very quickly, though. There are three possible causes - 1. the engine, msmpeng.exe is scanning all of the services and processes as they load back up on resume 2. something is conflicting with msmpeng.exe and it is fighting to maintain the ability to scan processes and files 3. the scheduled quick scan is taking place as the PC was asleep when it was supposed to run. If it is #3, then I would expect CPU usage to taper off quickly and drop dramatically after about 3 to 5 minutes. -steve -- Stephen Boots MVP Windows Live Windows Live OneCare Forum Moderator sboots@xxxxxx |
