I noticed ashServ on a fresh reboot has a pretty high CPU time immediately, and I notice it steadily climbs the longer my PC is up and running.
My question is, what is this module? I'm half inclined to think its the update poll mechanism checking for updates and listening for pushes? Of course, thats pure guesswork on that one.
My question is, on low low end systems, this might be a bit too much CPU Time? Is there a way to disable this, and to manually schedule updates at set intervals throughout the day with the service running? I steered a friend to check out Avast, but the CPU time on this module is too high for his machine, and is up to 10 times higher than many other AV's.
MANUALLY having to update isn't what I mean, but a task to poll for updates or something without the service running would be more what I would mean. But of course, that relies on my guess that ashSERV is the update part. If it isn't, then what is it, and how can I reduce/remove its CPU time?
For example, total Cpu time for all AVK modules is less than :02. For NOD32, total CPU time after hours of being on, is :01. Seeking answers, hope someone can help with this.
