    Shortly after boot (with nothing else running) the ESET servie jumps to 50% CPU usage. :argh:

    On a side note the Antispam feature does not work with Office 2013 beta.

    FWIW version 5.2 appears to be doing the same. Everything is fine for 10 minutes, or so, then CPU usage starts to slowly climb. Currently running 53%.

    Looks like I'll have to return to Defender and wait for some improvements.

    Is that on a dual core? As in 100% of one core? Or 50% across multiples?

    I don't expect them to support beta Office at this time. I was surprised as to how much support vendors were giving Windows 8.

    It's a quad core hyper threaded intel CPU. It was 50% across the board. When the fan goes into hyperdrive and there isn't anything running it's time to take a look.:D

    The similarities between 2010 and 2013, except for the gui chrome, are as one would expect - no major changes. That said, If I'm working on a new version of my program and I know that MS is releasing not only a new OS, but also a new office suite in the very near future, I would look very hard into incorporating compatibility into my program. While I expect ESS 6 to be out shortly Win 8 will begin shipping on lots of devices in October and Office 2013 won't be far behind. Seems like the prudent thing to do would be to have the code base ready for both.

    I wouldn't have been too surprised if a single process maxed out a single core, but wow, 50% of 8 threads? Yep, something is definitely wrong there. :doubt:


    I'm sure they are looking into it, but very rarely does one beta software product support the beta version of another. Too much of a load on their support department for something that will likely change.

    Does disabling real-time protection or startup scan tasks and restarting the computer make a difference?

    I'll be honest - I removed both V6 and V5. It was nearly impossible to use in that condition. I may be willing to reinstall, but it will be after I get all of my programs installed/configured and I have a decent drive image to fall back on.
