VanPrat 0 Report post Posted March 16, 2020 Using a Windows 10 laptop here. Every time I start my laptop or resume from sleep mode, the laptop and applications are becoming practically unusable due to extremely high CPU usage by Immunet 7.0.2. This started sometime in the last 7 - 10 days. I am running the latest, patched version of Windows 10 as also Norton AntiVirus. I have been using the same set of applications in the laptop the past 4-5 years and this is the first instance of Immunet CPU usage spiking up. Please take a look and help! As of now, I am resorting to kill Immunet tasks. Also uninstalled & reinstalled but nothing has changed. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ritchie58 442 Report post Posted March 17, 2020 Hi VanPrat, There is the option to enable Verbose Tray Notifications which is for troubleshooting purposes. With this setting enabled you'll get a pop-up message for the files Immunet is interacting with. Maybe that will give you some idea what files/program may be causing the spike in CPU resources with Immunet. Just keep in mind when this setting is enabled you may get "numerous" pop-up messages. To enable Verbose Tray Notifications first open the UI -> click on the Settings tab -> scroll down to the Notifications Settings tab & click on that -> turn ON Verbose Tray Notifications -> minimize the Notifications Settings tab -> click Apply then Close. Then re-start your computer. If you can't determine what program might be causing a conflict there is another option of sending in a Support Diagnostic Tool report for the devs to look at. Let us know if you need to send in a SDT report. I can give you detailed instructions on how to do that. Leave VTN on for now until the SDT report is sent in would be my recommendation. I've repeated this before for the forum community but it's worth mentioning again, unless "instructed to do so" please "do not" turn on Verbose Tray Notifications. Regards, Ritchie...

I found that, especially when trying to start programs or intensely use programs, CPU usage was insane and rendered the computer almost unusable. Since then, I turned off the setting and CPU usage went back down to normal. I would take an educated guess that, when you have "monitor program start" enabled in the Immunet settings, it applies to any time a new process gets started on your computer. This could even be triggered by loading several tabs in your browser as, the more tabs loaded, the more processes get started by the browser. Please also note that when a scan is taking place, the load is pretty high on the CPU. I think putting it in gaming mode should lessen it's load a little bit during a scan. You might also check your scan schedule and make sure your scheduled scans are for off-hours when your computer will be on, but not being used. Hope that helps a little.

ritchie58 442 Report post Posted May 30, 2020 Personally I don't use that setting enabled myself either. I seems to interfere with some of my other security start-up programs at boot-up. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
