MsMpEng.exe taking up too much CPU
« on: November 03, 2008, 07:58:56 PM »
I don't know how to stop it, if possible, in addition to fixing the problem, are there any ways I can expand my CPU without any hardware intervention? Thanks for all help.

It's part of Windows Defender
What operating system are you running?
