    After EAV updated it's modules, a while back, I had to reboot my system, and, actually, it seemed that the Desktop was loading faster.
    I really got surprised with the speed.

    But, two hours later I turned it off, and a few moments ago, I turned it on again. The Desktop now loads slower than before. And, by before, I mean slower than before the modules got updated.

    I'm running EAV with all advanced settings enabled, but I also tried rebooting several times by disabling Advanced heuristics on file execution. No difference at all.
    I tried disabling real-time protection auto start, but even by doing it, there would be no gain in system performance.

    I know I might sound like I'm playing an old tape here, but, I really believe that Eset should work this problems with system performance out.

    Saying that by enabling some advanced settings, there might be some bad impact in system performance, with all due respect, doesn't cut it.

    I never had this problem with version 3.0.667, with all advanced settings enabled.
    And, even by disabling advanced heuristics on file execution and even real-time protection auto-start, won't do any miracle. So, how can it be the advanced settings?

    That's also something, that, somefolks, have mentioned in the 100% CPU usage thread. That, even by disabling such settings, the bad performance would still be there.

    So, honestly, how can it be the advanced settings?

    If they are the ones doing it, then why disabling them won't solve a thing? I'm really lost here.

    I'm aware that this isn't a situation that happens to everyone, still, it happens to a lot of people, and for a very long time now. No solution was ever found.

    I remember when Symantec was constantly, badly, critized by the resource usage of their products. It took them a few years, to, finally, start listening to their costumers. Perhaps, due to the fact they witness some lossing? No idea. I don't really care, as I'm not a Symantec's costumer. But, the fact is that they did something about it, and the end result is there - one of the most light line of products.

    I hope it won't take years for Eset to do something about this problems people are having.
    After all, these people (including myself) are paying costumers and would like to see this problems solved.



    Regards

    There have been 0 module updates for a few days buddy, excluding the standard 2 detection modules.

    That, I can't tell. But, that I saw a message from EAV saying that it finished updating modules, I did.

    Not suppose to be like that? They got out by mistake? No idea. They did occurred. That's for sure.

    By going to "About", I see the Antivirus and antispyware module has been updated.

    So, there were modules that got updated. I didn't imagine things.

    The virus signature database and AV/AS scanner are the 2 modules I was referring to.

    That only means that the information I provided, was correct. It occurred an update to some modules.

    I didn't know which, until I checked. I was more concerned with the increased resource hog.

    Somehow, those module updates, made EAV 4 use more resources than ever before. If the system, sometimes, was already slow, now it got worse.

    I had to uninstall it. I really hope something is done, before my license ends, in August. I'd like to still use it, and the sooner, the better. After all, I've paid for it.

    TADA welcome to my GHOSTING issue, where I can type away, the computer won't show it since it's soo slow the, keystrokes are being buffered and then BLAM it's on the screen. It's like typing away on a 386SX while running Windows XP, even though it's a Core2Duo 3.6 Ghz and 4 Gigs of ram. :)

    Well touch wood I think I got it fixed for now & what I did was reinstall nod & notice that there was a TrustedInstaller.exe process running that didn't seem to go away & after googling it found that the Problem Reports and Solutions could be the cause of the TrustedInstaller.exe & there is 5 reports to do with.

    Running Vista x64 with 4GB ram
