A few bugs

edfaz

Issue 1: I've noticed that SAV Intercheck is regularly using 100% of cpu when browsing the web. 

Issue 2: Chrome crashes and Intercheck uses 100% cpu when I attempt to download SQLmap from sourceforge.

Problem 1 disappears when live protection is disabled. Problem 2 disappears when URL checking and live protection are disabled .

I'm on a rMBP (late 2013) with Mavericks, and it's under a week old. Chrome is the latest.

    This isn't a direct answer to your question because 100% still sounds like a lot, but your rMBP has either an i5 two core or i7 four core processor and each core can support two threads. Each thread, when fully used, will read 100% utilization in Activity Monitor (e.g., with the i7 running wide  open, you'd see nearly 800%). So while 100% still looks high, it's not as bad as it appears.

    Thanks for the reply :-) . It's an i7 machine, so cheers for the heads up. Using 100% of a thread still doesn't seem great though, coming from a Windows user where antivirus was down at 4% or less on an i5 machine (2 cores, 4 threads).

    I actually had to remove SAV today because it was crashing my system. Apps wouldn't open, beachball everywhere and so on. I can provide crash dumps. Having uninstalled SAV, the problem went away. Upon reinstallation, the problems returned. 

    As an aside, SAV tried to scan and was stuck on a file for over 3 hours. Compressed file scan is unchecked.

    I'd be interested to know more about the file it was stuck on (scanning for 3 seconds is unusual for most files, 3 hours is crazy). Can you tell me a little more about it?
