I agree on you on that too. I just upgraded from v2.7 to v3.0.566.0 recently & it works fine.:)

[NodboN]

Agreed!!!

NOD32 3.0.551 did consume more CPU resource than the current version does.

The ekrn.exe ESET file is using 100% CPU on and off every two minutes as per the GUI on my Comodo firewall. Other folks have the same problem per another thread.

Nod32 version 3.0.566.0 has improved a lot. I think my opinion of version 3 has changed.;D

I re-installed 3.0.566.0 this afternoon just to see if it would help. It is now fluctuating from 65% to 80% but I have also seen 99% too.

Same thing here - ekrn.exe suddenly consumes 100% of CPU.

Configuration: Win32 XP Pro w/ latest patches.
NOD32 BE v3.0.566.0 latest virus DB

Restarting or killing the process helps for a while.

ZA firewall or no firewall at all have no effect.

Disabling NOD32 doesn't lower the CPU.

Examining the handles with PE doesn't reveal anything special.

Bummer :( :thumbd:

It seems to only happen for updates, then quickly goes back to using minimal resources.

I haven't seen a 99% spike, but it does get up there.

If you experience a problem with a high CPU utilization by ekrn and you are able to replicate it, please send me a private message. We'll need to get a complete memory dump from such a computer for perusal.

I think alot of cpus usage problems comes from people using NOD32 3.0 along with Comodo. I am using NOD32 3.0.556 along with OA and getting no cpu issues.
