vip78 Posted April 30, 2012 Author Report Share Posted April 30, 2012 yeah very high CPU usage Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GT500 Posted April 30, 2012 Report Share Posted April 30, 2012 yeah very high CPU usage Emsisoft Anti-Malware uses multiple threads in order to scan files as fast as they can be loaded from your hard drive. This means that high CPU usage is normal during a scan, even if you have a CPU with multiple cores. This is done in order to ensure that scan times are shorter, because files can be scanned faster. BTW: I moved your post from another topic on CPU usage into this one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GT500 Posted May 1, 2012 Report Share Posted May 1, 2012 I've never seen a laptop fan break due to high CPU usage. I guess it's possible, if the lubricant had leaked out of the bearing, for the bearing to overheat with too much use and seize up. How old is this laptop?

vip78 Posted May 2, 2012 Author Report Share Posted May 2, 2012 Sony Z11 High performance processor fan to cause damage in the short term cpu usage : Nod32 v5 20-25% Avira 25-35 MBAM 27-30% Emisoft 100% 0_0 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GT500 Posted May 2, 2012 Report Share Posted May 2, 2012 From what I'm seeing, this laptop probably isn't more than one or two years old, so the fan shouldn't have died even with 100% CPU usage. Let me ask the developers if there's a way to reduce CPU usage while scanning. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GT500 Posted May 2, 2012 Report Share Posted May 2, 2012 OK, according to our developers Emsisoft Anti-Malware 6.5 will scan files as fast as it can pull data off of your hard drives, so if you have fast hard drives then the scan speeds will eat up more CPU time. In the next major version, we intend to add a mechanism where you can control CPU usage (I would believe it involves limiting the number of threads that EAM will create or CPU cores that EAM will attempt to use, so you can prevent it from completely using your entire processor).
