[QUOTE="danb, post: 956117, member: 62850"] I almost forgot... from what I have seen, the "Average CPU utilization while scanning" MS setting does not seem to work as expected. Which is probably why a lot of people complain that MD uses ungodly amounts of CPU cycles. We should be able to fix this for good, and the "Average CPU utilization while scanning" will be named something else, and it should actually work ;). The reason I mention this... I have never ran a full MD scan on my computer until I ran a Full Scan from DefenderUI. It COMPLETELY MAXED OUT all of my cores, for like a long time. I then tested with running a normal MD Full Scan (once I was able to find it ;)), I had the same result... maxed cores, for a very long time. Anyway, we should be able to fix this as well. [/QUOTE]
