Sailorcancer Posted June 24, 2009 Share Posted June 24, 2009 So I installed the official beta and had to turn off the real time protection. With it on it slowed down my computer completely. Both in XP and Vista. According to my CPU monitor sidebar my two cores were both at 100% from the time my computer would start up till I turned off real time protection. My specs meet the requirements (both my desktop and laptop run on dual core CPUs clocked at over 2GHz and with 3GB of RAM). So I don't know why it would take up so much processing power. I have never had this happen with real time protection on any other security software. Has anyone else had this issue? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Subject Delta Posted June 24, 2009 Share Posted June 24, 2009 No, but I have noticed the occasional CPU spike, and it does consume a lot of memory Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest xiphi Posted June 24, 2009 Share Posted June 24, 2009 I haven't noticed any CPU spikes or excessive ram usage. I suggest you submit the feedback through the Connect site. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quillz Posted June 24, 2009 Share Posted June 24, 2009 It's working okay for me on both virtual and native installs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

way2quik Posted June 24, 2009 Share Posted June 24, 2009 MsmpEng.exe 72,882 msseces.exe 6,476 Vistax64 No 'spikes' and no slowdown at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
null_ Posted June 24, 2009 Share Posted June 24, 2009 It runs alright for me on my desktop PC, which is a Pentium 4 2.8 GHz with 1 GB of RAM running Windows Vista SP2, but I have noticed that MsMpEng.exe's CPU cycle usage does occasionally "spike", however just about all anti-virus programs do this (two that I can think of off the top of my head being Avast! and NOD32).

UncleSpellbinder Posted June 24, 2009 Share Posted June 24, 2009 Sorry for the following off-topic question, but is Microsoft Security Essentials meant as a replacement to things like AVG and Avast? I assume running MSE alongside a currently installed AV is not recommended. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
