Bug: High Hard Disk Activity Caused By Agent.exe


Recommended Posts

Hello

 

After installing a D-Link wireless usb adapter, I noticed a large amount of I/O reads and I/O writes coming from agent.exe. The result was a sluggish PC.

I added the folders "C:\program files\ANI" and "C:\program files\D-Link" to the exclusion list, and computer's performance was improved significantly.

However, agent.exe still accesses the disk much more (millions I/O operations) as compared to other processes (thousands I/O operations).

I don't know if this is expected.

 

System:

Windows XP SP3, 1GB ram

Latest version of Immunet free with Clam enabled and no other security program running.
