    Hello,

    Since an hour ago i got suddenly a problem that the option to filter/scan internet trafic kills my internet to speeds of a modem.
    I could see aswell when i was browsing that the ekrn.exe was going up to 25-30% cpu on my quadcore.
    Asoon as i turned the filter off my internet went with normal speed again.
    Note that this hasnt happend before, not once in the 5-6 years of using NOD32.
    I didnt install anything, it happend when i woke up. :ouch:

    This is really annoying and wondering if it has something to do with a update from eset?

    This is the option im talking about incase ur wondering.

    The web scanner must be scanning file(s) which are probably reasonably large and take files to get scanned or extracted if downloading large archives. Check under Statistics - Web access protection -> Scanned object what files are actually being scanned. If possible, provide us a link to those files.

    This only is when im browsing the net using google chrome, dont know if its a problem with chrome and nod32 combination..

    But seems not likely its a big file since its purely with browsing the web.

    Edit, could u provide a screenshot where to find that, cant really find it on my dutch client.

    We'd need to get a dump from ekrn (with self-defense enabled) when the problem occurs for perusal. On Vista, you can right-click ekrn.exe and select Create dump file. Zip the dump and let me know when done so that I can provide you with further instructions.
