SavService.exe is using high amount of CPU on servers

Hi,

on all our servers SavService.exe is using high amount of CPU making our servers slow when accessing.

it is constanly staying at 25%of CPU usage when no one access the system expect me monitoring the service usage.

this slow down's our Mail server and Database servers during Day time as everyone useing them continuesly.

this is only happening after the latest update in April.

is there a way to reduce this service usage. i know i can disable On-Access scan but that will leave me open for virus. i do not want to disable it.

please advice,

thank you,

krishna

  • Hello, It hasn't linked the entire line, it should be:

    www.sophos.com/.../35970.aspx

    To prove it is just on-access scanning, if you exclude the drives on the computer does it help?, i.e. C: D:, etc..

    Could it be the scanning of remote files in some way?  They could be excluded as well.

    Anything to prevent it happening would be useful information.
