Advanced System Care causing 100% CPU usage!

[sakeeta]

I am running Windows XP on a 40 GB hardrive, 1 GB, Gateway laptop. More than half of my hardrive is free. While doing general maintenance on it..I noticed my CPU usage was constantly 100%. I couldn't figure out what was causing this..so I started closing programs in my system tray. The instant I closed Advanced System Care Pro icon, my CPU usage dropped to 3%. So obviously that is what is causing it. Why would this be??

WOW 100% of CPU usage!!!! Something is wrong, just uninstal and reinstal and find out again. What is your security softs on your system!

Hi sakeeta,

 

Try temporarily turning off system guards in your security programs (AV software system guards included) and see if same CPU is used.

I am also experiencing this problem... But it is caused by Advanced System update program when im offline... This is probably a bug in programming... Advanced System Care updating even in offline mode??? :mrgreen::mrgreen:

Try killing IOBit update and the problem is gone...

Any word from ASC guys? Im still having this problem up to now..

[mecute]

Hi mecute,

 

I am not from IObit, so you can continue grrrr!!!!!!ing.

 

Does it use the same amount of CPU, when you are connected to the Internet?

 

If it is only doing it when offine, then it is trying to connect to Internet, and assuming you are connected. That's why the high CPU usage. As, after certain time, it should use the file from ASC\News folder, bnews.html, or wnews.html, with respect to the skin you are using.

 

Anyway, if you are using Pro version, please ask to IObit directly.

 

Cheers.

Hi :mrgreen:

 

I must accept that ASC does not have a problem when online. The only thing bothering me, and some user i guess, is it's "not so intelligent auto update" program. It should be able to detect an online and the offline mode so that it can kill itself automatically if no connection is detected. For an unknown reason, the ASC's auto update program consumes the entire cpu processing when im offline..

Hi again mecute,

 

Which update Mode you use on which XP?

 

Cheers.

[mecute]

Hi enoskype,

 

the IOBitupdate.exe on a scheduled task is the one causing this problem.. :-)

[enoskype]

That's what I thought and found out mecute, I guess, temporarily, you will not use Scheduled Update, but Auto Update. Or, schedule Update for an online time! :mrgreen:

 

Cheers.

[mecute]

just want to know the updates hehehehe... is there already a solution to this issue?

[enoskype]

Let's continue grrrr!!!!!!ing together, they may hear then.:lol:

 

Cheers.

[mecute]

hahaha... i like you enoskype hehe.

 

ASC is a nice piece of program anyway.. :-)

[IcyFrostPyro]

every computer is different, i have not experienced this even when i am offline.

I believe it is a bug in the program(memory leak).

[mecute]

Pssssst!!!!

[enoskype]

Is there anybody out there???? :razz:

[mecute]

Hi enoskype,

 

Is this problem already addressed in 3.4?

[enoskype]

Hi mecute,

 

Nothing is mentioned about it in the what's new, and the update does not work at the moment anyway.

Update seemed to work at the beginning, but it wanted to downdate :-P ASC to version 3.3.4.

 

There is no connection of update of ASC to the servers recently.

 

Cheers.

 

EDIT : Unfortunately it is the same as before. If update is scheduled for a time when there is no internet connection, IObitUpdate.exe uses the available CPU, until the CPU usage is increased to 100%.
