Sourcefire Connector Uses 50-90% Of Cpu

[dirofblue]

I heard about the program from one of CISCO showcases I attended so decided I give it a try.

I began the rootkit scan, found a few threats.  quarantined them. Looks good.  

Then I did a full scan and thought it might take a long time so I started watching Netflix and let in run in the background.   

Then I noticed the video playback keep shuttering on and off.  At first I thought my connection were bad so I checked.  Nothing.

I got off Netflix to look and found that my CPU utilization is around 95-99%.  And Sourcefire Connector was at the top running around 80%.

It might go 40-50% for a while.  Then jump to 80-90% again.  I skimmed through the forum and saw that Windows 8.1 is kinda not supported at the moment and I understand that.  Just want to give you guys some info and maybe speed things up a bit

So...  

 

Here my setup:

CPU: AMD Athlon II X4 620 2.6Ghz (stock)

RAM: 2x Kingston 4GB RAM (1600)

GPU: AMD Radeon HD 7700 (again, stock)

 

OS: Windows 8.1 PRO (I think it's the latest version.  Since I set it on automatic update)

Immunet: Immunet 3 v.3.1.13.9671

Other AV: Malwarebytes Anti-Malware (Premium) 2.0.4.1028 with Database Version v2015.02.14.02

 

I've sent the SDT report to your support email

 

Thanks,

Hey dirofblue,

 

Thanks for the report. We also do not officially support Malwarebytes, so there could be an issue using both anti-virus while streaming media content. You can always look in the Summary -> Detailed History to see what files are being scanned when high cpu is happening. That could indicate where you may need to add an exclusion.

 

Anyways, I will email you when I have more information.
