Avira updates often cause CPU to go to 100% - Update - it's cssd!

I've just confirmed this at three different sites where average CPU Usage is 8-to-12%.  Here's one from an instance in Amazon EC2:



Here are the lines from the Up2Date log for when a new Avira pattern was installed during the timeframe of the graph above:

  • Hi Bob,
    I checked on our 9.108 SW HA (active-passive) local installation, but, in last 5 days, we didn't get same CPU peaks during Avira updates. I'm going to update to 9.109 this evening and tomorrow I'll check again.
    If possible (ASAP) I'll check also on our customer UTM installations.
    Have a nice day.
