Webroot runs fine on my laptop, no dogging and no notice of AEI.exe in the system task manager. HOWEVER, it is a DOG on my desktop. It will not allow me to schedule scans and AEI.exe kills all possibility of working when it runs. 100% of my system? This is nuts. There has GOT to be a way to disable this dog and only run scans when I want to.

Causes CPU to rocket and sound sync to go out on replaying movies from a computer

By not being able to end/remove/cancel this program/"service" from my computer when I have administer controls, I consider this to be a virus. The error message "Access denied" appears. So my access to MY computer's software is denied? Unacceptable.

This software is dangerous. Please don't update to version 7.

I dumped Norton 360 and bought Webroot to get rid of Norton's ccsvchst.exe CPU hog of a file, only to find it replaced with an equally offensive file from Webroot. I wasted my money on this program. Very disappointing that they won't, or can't address this issue.

huge problem. It interferes with online tests I take for virtual college. I'm not a programmer, just a midlevel user but this is terrible.

Uses 100% CPU till it knows I'm looking at it in task manager, then it starts going down, like a roach when you turn on a light! Going back to another Company's program.

Customer brought his computer in for repair that his computer was running slow. This program was completely at fault. When people say it uses 100% CPU they are not kidding. 99-100% use at all times.

I just installed Process Lasso because Webroot Antivirus was killing me at times...especially during updates and it's decisions to scan. I am very pleased to report that Process Lasso rocks; It whacks the priority of Webroot Antivirus down so that my responsiveness is no longer affected by that pig. Cool user interface too. I have 19 years of experience at IBM with PC's...never before have I seen an OS properly handle processor pigs like this little program does. Process Lasso is the ultimate whack-a-mole for Webroot Antivirus process priority.

I don't think it's dangerous, just a pain in the ass. It defeats the purpose of having a computer if, in order to be safe from threats, your machine doesn't run. After reading other comments I just went to open Webroot to see what version I have, it informed me that an error had occurred and closed....not too slick
