Hi, I have the problem that Process Monitor uses up all my system resources when i start it. I cannot stop it again but it seems to freeze my system. Maybe it's because of my security software? I don't know. System Specs Windows XP Home (danish) SP 2 Software Kaspersky AV 7.0 Adaware 2007 Webroot SpySweeper 5 Super AntiSpyware 3.9.1008 Regards, Rasmus Bertelsen |

SpySweeper uses a lot of CPU. I don't use it real time - only to scan once a week, and that's a drag. SuperAntispyware is a big CPU user when scanning, too. It's OK real time.

I have Spy Sweeper starting at bootup and running in the background all the time and it has no noticeable impact on CPU usage. I just started Process Monitor 1.20 and after it settled down CPU usage was between 1% and 2% - no noticeable impact on the system. Running XP Pro w/SP2.

The fact they are, apparently, not 'using' cpu does not mean they are not sitting in memory; waiting to do their thing. Just go to Administrative Tools and open Processes or Services to see what's running, basically, all the time.
