Drweb and hourly process scan...

[sukarof]

It seems Drweb has a scan every hour when it takes almost all of the CPU power. I guess it does it to see if the new definitions will find somethin already in memory.
It is spider.sys module in the process "system" that uses way too much power from the CPU.
Even though it doesnt take to long, maybe one or two minutes, it is getting damn annoying. If I watch something in media player it starts to lag. I thought they would´ve have fixed it in the new beta for Vista - but no :(

I dont see the point with it anyway, not if it is hogging up the system.
Anyone know how to turn it off?

well,

its either:

1. a scheduled scan, you can change these settings in the schedular.
or
2. it is your enhanced protection, disable it if its slowing things down for you.

note: drweb can slow for a few seconds while its updating, this is normal.

Thanks for your reply.
I dont think it is while it is downloading the update, it seems the process scan happens a couple of minutes after the update has been done...
I have enhanced protection disabled (it is so by default)

I wonder if it is any of the parameters in the update schedule that causes it?

It says: /GO /ST /QU
The help file doesnt open under Vista so I dont know what those parameters are.

well i think, although not sure, when it updates, it unloads/repairs etc etc the whole engine, so this is probably the little slowdown.

I guess you´re right. I just wish it would do it during idle time...
It lags much more under Vista, but it is beta so I guess and hope it will get better when the final version arrives.

my vista beta does not update automatically, :dry:

even when changing spidercpl.xml to edit the filenames, still doesn't update automatically, as you said... because its beta.
