This problem with Hummingbird Host Explorer 10.0.0.5 and NOD32 still
exists even with NOD32 v3.0.672.
In my case it was with the Domain Admin account that installed the Host
Explorer software. ekrn.exe was using 50% of the cpu. Non-admin domain
accounts in the same domain as the computer did not have this problem.
I excluded some HostExplorer files in Program Files, and an individual
log file in the temp directory of the account, and the performance came
back to normal. The next day I deleted some files and folders from the
temp directory of the admin account, and removed the exclusions from
NOD32, and there was no slowdown anymore. I was not able to reproduce
the problem elsewhere.
Cheryl mentioned the ability to look at files that are being scanned by
AMON. However, AMON is not a category in v3, and the realtime scanning
does not seem to show realtime activity. Does anyone know how to show
realitime scanning activity in v3 (other than what is shown during a
full disk scan)?
I was very pleased to see in v3 that while a Scheduled full computer
scan is running in the background, there is an extra option under
Computer Scan in the ESET control panel. If you click on the extra
option (Active scan?) you get a display of file names, and finally an
option to stop the computer scan.
