Lynx Posted August 31, 2010 Report Share Posted August 31, 2010 Greetings all, {Win 7 x64} After the updating EAM to 5.0.0.71 beta I was not able to use any menu items from the Notification Area except staring HiJackFree and “Disabling the Guard until Reboot” The latter action at least ended by the indication - “red dotted icon”. I was not able to revert to the stable version since the Update cannot be fired as well. a2Start shows ~25% (sometimes more, up to 40%) CPU usage and the memory usage slowly growing In average it stops at the figure shown below. I 'v seen 1.2xx.yyy K (!) usage as well, but I was too slow pressing buttons in order to intercept that. In addition in case that can help somehow: 1) I did not find any (visible) negative impact on functionality of many Software I've tested; 2) Simple Reboot will not help no matter as many times I tried that; 3) The only “workaround cure” I found : Stop the service / the Guard will disappear / Reboot After that the EAM beta 0.71 was functional again but only once until the GUI was closed; 4) when #3 was performed 4 times in order to see that is replicable, I eventually started that only one available GUI session / uchecked beta / & reverted to the stable 0.68 this seems to be normal resources usage by a2Start My regards Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob R. Posted August 31, 2010 Report Share Posted August 31, 2010 There is an issue here on XP SP3 also with a2start.exe Noticed that the contextmenu scan didn't work. I was testing other programs as well so i thought i broke something here... Reboot, and the contextmenu scan worked just fine. But after reading your post i tried to open the GUI and that failed. a2start.exe is active and eating a lot of memory, nothing else happens. While i was typing this i had a chat with one of the developers. He could replicate the issue and will fix it as soon as possible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lynx Posted August 31, 2010 Author Report Share Posted August 31, 2010 Thank you for confirmation, ctrlaltdelete I had no time to check the "context menu" issue since I needed to give the PC back to the user in the working condition, therefore reverted to the stable I am sure that will be fixed ASAP Again - your quick response was much appreciated. Cheers! P.S. {added} I forgot to mention that I did not noticed the Auto-update as well during that session of the tests. The interval is set as 30 min and there were no updates after the Reboots But I can not be sure 100%... just 90% , since at that time that was not the main thing I was looking at with greater attention Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
