SSM hog question

Would someone point be to a thread concerning SSM and it being a resource hog....would like a somewhat lighter HIPS w/out loosing a lot of function.

 

Erm , haven't seen one of those, but if 7-10 Meg is hogging resources then yes it's a real hog

 

Erm, it is using between 50 and 70% of my cpu>>>>>AMD 64x2 5200+ 2.6 GHz
I am using SSM V. 2.4.0.619

 

Hmn well somethings not right there then.

 

Thanks for pointing this out tradetime.....i did a clean uninstall and then a clean reinstall.....SSM is now between 1 and 2% of CPU usage..........i wonder what was going on

 

No worries Rainwalker, glad I could help, seems odd, though is that not a beta version? I am using the free version, never upgraded as it does what I need and is very stable and light.

 

SSM is NOT doing that. You have other problems. UNLESS (remote possibilities)...

1- You used SSM to block a process that re-establishes itself (i.e., it refuses to be blocked).

2- You used SSM to protect a process that protects itself; hence, does not want or need protection.

Either of the above can cause conflict at times.

 

Hmmm......i bet both are true....i will always wait for the SSM popups before blocking anything...i would think those two items would need to addressed by the developers.
@tradetime.....i am using Vista so free version will not work.........i think

 

Yes last free version has been out a long time pre-vista so almost certain it would not work
