Norton File Insight 100%

[Ink]

Using Chrome today and Norton notified me about this:

Have you experienced this before, what did you do afterwards?

I have CoreTemp in my System Tray, so I can see the Temp and CPU usage.

Cheers.

I am currently using Norton as well and have not experienced this at all.

Could just be an anomaly. Might have Spiked for a few seconds for whatever reason. Not sure how long Norton monitors resource usage before notifying though.

i think somtimes if you play flash games like on facebook or what not this tends to happen. i used to get google crashing quite often back in my facebook gaming days. lol are you using beta ? or the latest stable build?

it notifies the user straight away theres about 2 sec delay

If you're running Chrome and it uses alot of your CPU, how long will Norton monitor that CPU usage before alerting. If it's only monitoring for 2-4 seconds, that's a bit pointless.

Performance Alert: Displays the CPU, memory, and hard disk usage details of the process.
Norton Internet Security displays the details only when the process exceeds the defined resource consumption threshold limit.
You can use the Don't alert for this file link if you want Norton Internet Security to stop monitoring the program. The link changes to Alert for this file when Norton Internet Security stops monitoring the program.

I've had chrome spike on me like that, but i had 40 tabs open.. hahha.

Chrome (stable), I was playing a flash-based game for a couple of hours, and I only have 2 extensions (AdBlock Plus and LastPass).

 

[Nathan Wootton]

most-likely flash, so nothing to worry about unless its bringing your pc to its knees lol

Try clearing your cache and History Every-now-and-Again

I experienced this before and I usually hate these types of pop-ups because it doesn't have anything to do with security.
