Hello everyone.
I was wondering why Mcshield had to use all my memory and cpu capacity as i run internet explorer and kazaa.
When i press Ctrl + Alt + Del (i m on winxp pro) it says that the Mcshield is using approximately 100,000K of the Mem. Is this normal? Is there anyway to make it use less memory than what it actually uses?
thanx in advance.
 
I'm not sure what MskServer.exe is but it's not part of VirusScan. That may be your problem. If it's doing something using that amt. of your CPU and VirusScan is trying to scan that then your machine is going to crawl.
