He seems to put in a lot of effort in that little program! Well done.

I've run into so many programs I couldn't kill with the task manager that I doubt if this is still true. Just today my laptop was idle and overheating because two different antivirus programs and cortana were each hogging 33% of my CPU... I couldn't kill any of those processes.
- prerok 6y agoI think it's still not advisable to run two antivirus programs. They will keep competing for the same resources at the same time. I would suggest using just the "better" one. Also, a lot of what AV software does goes through kernel. That's the only way to ensure that its work is not preempted and that it can maintain security of the system.
