shaohui75 Posted February 9, 2006 Share Posted February 9, 2006 I dont know if anyone here is also facing the same problem as i am here. If so we should bring this up to AT. Whenever, i am in SRC, after surfing for less than 5min , the website will become very unresponsive, when i check under task manager, iexplorer will takeup 100% CPU. This only happen after this site's server has been upgraded. I do not experience the same for other website that i go to. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shaohui75 Posted February 9, 2006 Author Share Posted February 9, 2006 Sorry, it should be 99% on my laptop. Out of curiousity, i tested SRC website on another computer. Same thing also happened but only if i click on some link and then back quickly. It just stay at the 98% level and whole iexplorer slow down until i close the window and open it up again.

Achilles Tang Posted February 9, 2006 Share Posted February 9, 2006 Surfing doesn't take up CPU cycles! I did a test and the max when surfing in SR site was 25% for a sec before dropping to 0% again. Suspect you have some background processes that are running... and possibly even some that are unauthorized ie. trojan horses that use up your bandwidth and CPU to send spam without your knowing. It's a common problem now, esp for those who are not IT savvy and protected! Do you have a firewall and do you have any anti-hacking, anti-adware software running?

shaohui75 Posted February 9, 2006 Author Share Posted February 9, 2006 Have been using McAfee Viruscan. Using McAfee 's latest Virus Definitions 4691 (7 feb 2006). Using it to scan my laptop now. Thanks for the feedback AT. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SRC Member dumdum Posted February 9, 2006 SRC Member Share Posted February 9, 2006 Have been using McAfee Viruscan. Using McAfee 's latest Virus Definitions 4691 (7 feb 2006). Using it to scan my laptop now. Thanks for the feedback AT. Using McAfee Viruscan alone may not be able to detect spywares and adwares. try to use other anti-spyware together with McAfee for best results.

Do you have a firewall and do you have any anti-hacking, anti-adware software running? Initially, I thought SRC have some Ads running (Well, I couldn't see that as I installed anti-Ads) thus causing the problem but it's been ruled out after I disabled my anti-Ads. There's not much of GUI in php forum thus that's out too. Maybe just check whatever is running on the background that seems alien in your task manager ~ proccess. Or which webby you went that have have GUI loh. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vtech2 Posted February 9, 2006 Share Posted February 9, 2006 To be quite frank McAfee Viruscan doesnt really do the job that well. Norton Internet Security works really good. If $ is a problem, you can try downloading Microsoft Antispyware which is excellent and furthermore free! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SRC Member Firestarz Posted February 9, 2006 SRC Member Share Posted February 9, 2006 Eh .. mayb can try using mozilla firefox. Its much better in terms of responsiveness .. been using for 3 months mostly for SRC n having no problems. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SRC Member limbssg Posted February 9, 2006 SRC Member Share Posted February 9, 2006 has been using MS AntiSpyware Version: 1.0.701 since Jan 2005 still able to update and scan. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vtech2 Posted February 10, 2006 Share Posted February 10, 2006 Microsoft antispyware has different versions (Beta 1...), for the limited usage thing that means ur version has been outdated( they will prompt u by the time it expires) Normally u will be able to download a newer version after that for continue usage.
