Es legt den PC lahm (über 80% Prozessorleistung) Bei mir (XP SP3) und Intwel Duo Core CPU 6550 "genügt" es diesen Prozess via Task-manager abzuschiessen, die Wirkung ist sofort an der CPU-Auslastung erkennbar. Das "hilft" immer gut bis zum nächsten PC-Start! Eigene Erkenntniss, es sind keine Probleme augetaucht

Das es auf meinem Rechner sowohl unter XP als auch unter Win7, auf einmal 50 % meiner CPU ( i5 4x 2800 MHZ) Leistung für dieses Programm drauf ging. Bei Spielen bekam ich arge Probleme. Nachdem ich die beiden Dienste, “Intel(R) Management and Security Application Local Management Service” und “Intel(R) Management & Security Application User Notification Service” abgeschaltet hatte lief der Rechner wie neu geboren. Da mein Englisch nicht so gut ist konnte ich bei Intel nicht alles über diese Dienste in Erfahrung bringen. Meiner Meinung nach undurchsichtig und als Gefahr einzustufen.
