CPU usage and avast!

[Lisandro]

Thanks... Your patience makes me ashamed    
Is there any possibility of the dump file is corrupt and worth nothing?

Situation now: 5/12 files of 1,423 Mb each  

[pk]

better upload again, or split the archive in small ones + use WinSFV tool to generate crc values for those files.

Did you post wrongly?
I'm doing this and test the split/join the archive many times... it's working here!

[Lisandro]

Did you get it? Work?  

[pk]

yes, extracted and sent to vlk
thanks

thanks

Thanks. Waiting for Vlk and hopping it has some utility  

[watchthisspace]

wow!! that sounds like a bad problem, I wonder if anyone else gets this problem?

[Vlk]

Technical, I see no problem in the dump BUT it seems that the process is in the middle of doing a scheduled scan. Do you have a scan schedule set? If so, you shouldn't be surprised that ashServ.exe is taking up some CPU until the scan completes...

If needed I can open my ftp server for upload. Just let me know. If not needed, pretend I never wrote this.

What the hell you're right  
I forgot that I scheduled a long time ago... the scanning could not finish in that time and ashServ.exe just use the CPU.
At least, I'm happy that we found it! Very thanks pk and Vlk for the 'dump' issue  

[Vlk]

Technical, an important question here is - does the scheduled scan ever complete?

I mean, does it run for a given time and then finishes -- or it just runs forever?

Thanks
Vlk

Vlk, as I can see by the Sections results, some of them are finished, some of them, probably because of the crash (forced boot) are shown as 'in execution'. I have the last sections results stored if there is any useful information... Do you want a log or something?

So I can't answer your question. Sure, some of them started at a given time and then finished. Others not... I can't say they're running forever... Sometimes I tried to unable the residents and then start them again. Sometimes I used RejZoR's application.

Today, it does not happen as I remove the scheduling

Well, today is Sunday, it's the only day I scheduled a scan...
It does not finish anytime and the CPU was used up to 95%.

Some questions:

1) Using an on-demmand scanning, the CPU usage (even when not in background mode) is lower than the schedule task.  

2) The schedule scan is taking much more time to finish than the on-demand with same settings even I'm not using the computer.

3) ashServ.exe is running like SYSTEM at High priority  :'(

4) Is the monitor and HDD power supply settings due to anything here? I mean, if the system go to stand by (if it is posible to a computer goes to this state while the scheduled tasks is running)

Seems that the scheduled action would ever posible to be started if it can't be finished before the user comes back to use the computer.

I really suggest that the user can set the task priority.
