VShieldUpdate using all of my CPU power

jjtiziou

I recently downloaded the mac antivirus, running on a macbookpro with osX 10.7.2, and now a process called VShieldUpdate is gobbling up about 100% of my processor power all of the time.... Any thoughts on why this is and how to get rid of it?

    Try checking in /Library/LaunchAgents, /Library/LaunchDaemons, and the /Users/<user>/Library equivalents and see if you've got anything in there that shouldn't be there.

    Try going to the terminal and entering the following command:

    sudo grep VShieldUpdate -R /Library/LaunchAgents /Library/LaunchDaemons ~/Library/LaunchAgents

    If anything comes up, the plist file it lists is what you have to disable.
