914World.com _ 914World Garage _ OT Computer bogged down

Posted by: davep Aug 4 2005, 04:21 PM

We run Symantec/ Norton Corporate Anti-virus here. Auto updates. I found that a few computers here were bogged down by rtvscan.exe running the cpu at 99% for four hours. Unusual behaviour I have not seen before. Log off/ log on did not work. Did a cold boot and all is now fine. Had it been only my computer I would not have worried. Sounds like a bug in a new software update. If you find slow action, it may be worth checking.

it's a known bug, i forget when and why it happens. there was a bug fix on their website for "NAV Corporate Edition 7.01" which is what i'm using ...

it wasn't downloaded through the auto-update feature, you had to go to their website and download it ...

dunno what version you run, but you should be able to find info on their website ...

Yaya, seen it... it's only really using like 6% resources, at most, it's just not clearing used memory, and the leak gets bigger, and bigger.

I always yank it off the network, and install another program. That is some shabby assed coding.

No one at my work has figured that out yet. It just runs, leaks memory and sucks up workstation resources for a few hours. Sucks, but whatever.
