hi - thanks for the great software - i have a task setup to backup a folder from my laptop to a drive on a networked computer. However when the task runs it takes all the power out of my cpu ( or a lot of it ) - a process called avgsrvx.exe becomes very resource dependant when the task is running and then drops to 0% CPU usage when the cobian task is paused. I can only assume that this is a part of my antivirus software ( AVG 9 ) that is being called by cobian, or maybe avg needs to scan everything leaving the machine. There was no scheduled scan on AVG at that time and I dont have cobian set to compress files, just a straight backup
any help appreciated.

The antivirus is not called by Cobian. It maybe is detecting activity and invoking itself.

thanks - afterwards i discovered that it was the agv resident shield which is set to scan any file which is opened moved copied etc - it takes a lot of cpu power but i set up an exception in avg under resident shield ( obviously this carries a certain risk ..... which i am prepared to take ) as the folder which i am copying is unlikely to be targeted by a virus .... DONT DO THIS FOR A DOWNLOAD FOLDER OR TEMP INTERNET CACHE FOLDER ETC
