McShield.exe of mcafee home product virusscan 50% cpu if ffxp instance running

using latest beta 1719 i experience that if i start some fxp transfer the mcshield.exe process of mcafee virusscan plus 2012 starts to bug the pc with 50% cpu usage. if the transfer is done the cpu load goes back. in this case it's some ssl transfer,

anyone else experiencing on other A/V products?

i will test with some download with/without ssl , perhaps mcafee tries to check the crypted connection all time and bugs with 50% load . that's annoying ;-)

regards

my tcp buffers are default, using win7-64bit , it occurs on downloads aswell. all ssl'ed , my company's ftp using ssl , therefore i dont use any non-ssl connections, besides that issue wasnt in former versions of ffxp . strange. always if transfer is done, the cpu load is normal again , besides it's not ffxp.exe to have 50% , it's mcshield.exe , well so it's some mcafee problem perhaps "analysing" the traffic generated in ffxp.exe , im not sure.

will play around with tcp buffers let's see if this helps

regards

without changing tcp buffers, a normal download non_ssl'ed also issues in 50% cpu usage of mcshield.exe , strange. im not sure what ffxp does here and bugs mcshield to annoy with 50% cpu usage... lets play around with tcp buffers now

actual values are non/never-changed they are send : 8kb , and receive 32kb ...


regards

chaging to send: 128kb , and receive 128kb , didnt help , same issue . changing to "auto" for send/receive, results too in same issue...

let's go for the NIC drivers

regards

Is this only with FXP transfers or are uploads and downloads effected as well?

None of those settings would be a factor for a fxp (site to site) file transfer.

I'm really not sure why the cpu usage would spike to 50%, You could try this dev build of 1920 and see if it makes any difference, download link

well it's not ffxp.exe whcih has 50% , it's mcshield.exe which starts to go to 50% if having ssl/non-ssl fxp , also affects/issues during download ssl/non-ssl . .therefore im not sure whats wrong here.

im now on latest NIC drivers marvell yukon january 2012 onboard gbit , using jumbo frames cause of my NAS

perhaps it's some faulty mcafee update causing that problem...

will test few things and check your 1920 build too

regards

groovy, 1720 dont result in mcshield.exe 50% , it stays 2% as it should be.

cool.. anything changed between ? shame on you! ;-)

fxp ssl/non-ssl and ssl/non-ssl downloads dont result in 50% cpu usage with build 1720 .

thanks!

regards

That's quite odd, but not surprising, sometimes AV products will treat FlashFXP builds differently.

Though I would like to point out that none of the changes made in 1920 effect the socket/transfer engine. The changes that were made are specific to the file list controls in the user interface.

yeah , after few mins it still issues again , damn! hm . will deactivte the av scan now cause this is annoying .. i remember that a few weeks/months again the same issue appeared and after a few mcafee updates the issue was gone and no other ffxp build was released during those updates..

i hate computers ;-)

benjamin3, If you have such controls, try to disable only mcafee's network monitoring/scanning to see if that will make any difference.

Are you still experiencing this issue with FlashFXP?
