CareScanj.,exe Large CPU Usage after Reboot
bsfinkel replied to bsfinkel's topic in Driver Booster v6
I was looking at the JPEG images I had uploaded, and I noticed that they point to strayhepatitisbruise.com/...refer=https://forms.iobit.com/... and when I go to that site, I get MULTIPLE warnings. Where are these six JPEG images stored? I clicked on one, and I got a message to update "flash" (not Adobe flash, which is at its end-of-life). -
CareScanj.,exe Large CPU Usage after Reboot
bsfinkel replied to bsfinkel's topic in Driver Booster v6
I rebooted this afternoon at 14:47, and I took screenshots of library_ca: library_ca1.jpg - Task Manager Details tab. library_ca using 32% CPU library_ca2.jpg - Task Manager Processes tab. CareScan using 40.9% CPU library_ca3.jpg - Process Explorer Perf Graph tab: library_ca4.jpg - Process Explorer Image tab: "Access is denied." Parent: UninstallMonitor.exe library_ca5.jpg - Process Explorer Threads tab: library_ca6.jpg - Process Explorer Strings tab: <Error opening file>> When I checked at 21:02, the process was no longer running. I find it strange that Process Explorer cannot open the executable to find strings, and the Image tab will not tell me where it is using the CPU. -
CareScanj.,exe Large CPU Usage after Reboot
bsfinkel replied to bsfinkel's topic in Driver Booster v6
Here is an update. After a reboot, carescan.exe (library_ca.exe) was using lots of CPU, and it was slowing a disk backup. So I cancelled it. Before I cancelled, I used Sysinternals ProcessExplorer to try to find out where the executable was using the CPU. ProcessExplorer would not tell me, and I am not sure why. In the postings above, I attributed carescan.exe to Driver Booster. I see carescan,exe in Driver Booster and Smart Defrag. I see library_ca.exe as part of Uninstaller. The Task Manager "Processes" tab showed the process as "carescan", while the "Details" tab showed library_ca.exe. I am not sure which executable was running. I really want to know of which IObit product this is a part, and I want to know why it is using lots of CPU after a reboot. How can I tell where this executable is using CPU, if ProcessExplorer will not tell me? Thanks. -
CareScanj.,exe Large CPU Usage after Reboot
bsfinkel replied to bsfinkel's topic in Driver Booster v6
I started this thread April 29, 2019. That was with my Windows 7 Professional 32-bit system. I am now running Windows 10 Professional 2004 64-bit, and I have Driver Booster Free 7.6.0.766 installed. I had to reboot this morning at 10:37. I ran a backup of my C-disk at 11:51. When I got back to my computer at 13:05, the backup was still running. I checked CPU usage, and carescan.exe was using lots of CPU. My original question from last year still applies - What is carescan.exe doing when it is using lots of CPU 2.5 hours after the reboot? I did not see if carescan.exe was running immediately after the reboot. I cancelled carescan.exe so that the backup would complete sooner. I did not run Process Explorer to see where carescan.,exe was using its CPU. I could understand carescan.exe using lots of CPU for a short period of time after a reboot. -
Send Your Feedback for IObit Uninstaller v10

I installed Uninstaller 10,0.2.20 yesterday. I notice that the library_ca.exe executable was using up to 25% of the CPU for a long time. It i8s not running now, I have no idea what that executable does, but I was not using Uninstaller after I installed it. This is Windows 10 Professional 2004 64-bit. -
I have a suggestion that would aid me in researching driver updates. Would it be possible to list the driver file name(s) on the Driver Booster report? As I reported above, I see outdated drivers, but without the filename(s) of each driver, I cannot do independent research on the drivers that Booster claims are outdated. Thanks.

I have Driver Booster 6.4.0.392 installed. After a reboot I see that CareScan,exe uses 50% CPU for a long time. What is this executable doing after a reboot? Thanks.

I installed Driver Booster because it might alert me to an installed driver that is old. I always check with the vendor (via its web site) to determine if an installed driver has a newer version available. Driver Booster does give me a list of drivers that it thinks have newer versions, and that is simpler than my looking at all of my installed drivers checking each one.

I have installed Driver Booster 4.5, and it reports 22 outdated drivers. I have not updated any oi these drivers because I do not know the source of each driver update. For example, it reports an update for my Samsung ML-331x printer, and I see no new driver updates on the Samsung web site. I have been taught that drivers should be downloaded from the manufacturer's web site and not from a third party. Another example is Intel® 82801 PCI Bridge - 244E. I see no driver updates on the Intel® web site. Thanks.
