I’ll be happily working away, when suddenly my CPU goes to 100%, and the disk drive starts grinding away for up to an hour. When I look in Task Manager it’s invariably INOJOBSV.EXE that is the culprit. This service is part of Innoculate. Yes, there’s probably some way of configuring it not to do that, but frankly I shouldn’t have to; AV software should just do its thing, inobtrusively, in the background. I’ve never had this problem with other AV programs (McAfee, Norton…)
Okay, wrong word. But I’ve never had that problem, and I have the program installed on over 40 machines at work–some of which are extremely low-end–pentium 133’s (!!!). Are you using the freeware version or the e-trust dealie they’ve recently started selling?
I’m using the full version - in fact, my company’s IT dept installs it on every PC. Of course they insist we have it set to “full paranoid scan” mode. It seems the default behavior was to perform a full scan right in the middle of the working day - I finally found out how to change this (hint: not the obvious solution of the little icon in the tray) but it still occasionally puts my hard drive into “spin cycle”. At such times I sigh and pskill INOJOBSV.EXE (thanks sysinternals.com…) and my PC returns to normal.
Other people around me have the same problem - some even have a BAT file which they can click to kill the thing.
