    Is it normal that when Heimdal Pro is installed WmiPrvSE.exe consumes at least 10% CPU every 10 seconds? Because of this, a graph would show a sharp wave.

    Id like a.exe too ,as the .msi fails to install on XP with .net 4 installed.I think they must be using .net 4.5 ,which isnt compatible with XP.If this is the case I wish heimdal would update their site to not compatible with XP

    Im not 100% that they do use .net 4.5. I'm assuming that this is the case ,as after ages messing and checking why it wouldn't install ,I downloaded another program that was.msi and it installed fine.I also didn't get any errors when trying to install heimdal..just the installation dialogue boxes disappearing.

    Is it still necessary to disable IPv6 for Heimdal Pro to function properly?

    For those that have Heimdal PRO installed, can you confirm this please?

    Also, Heimdal.Agent.exe is always consuming CPU in my laptop's system.

    I can confirm that, installed the giveaway version and updated it to the latest beta. WmiPrvSE.exe causes massive lag spikes(15-30%) every 5 seconds. Win7 64bit, Eset Smart Security 8 with Spyshelter Premium.

    Not seeing WmiPrvSE.exe spikes here, Win 8.1 x64.
    Also Heimdal.Agent currently consuming around 0.35%.

    Have you opened the GUI?
    Can you please open the GUI, then close it using the "x" button?
    That's when my Heimdal.Agent would consume CPU all the time for me.
    Thanks!

    @XhenEd Heimdal.Agent did rise briefly to 3%, but then dropped down again.
    No significant WmiPrvSE spikes beyond around 1%.

    Tried it but could not reproduce your problem. Heimdal.Agent did rise briefly to 2%, but then dropped down again.
