OK, thanks guys. I've got a new i7 930 machine arriving this week, and I'll be freshly installing all my OS and tools... I'll be installing MB on there too - I'll let you know how if I experience the same thing on the new hardware. While I'm at it... is there anything you'd like me to try?

Followed the steps as required, but same results. I found another thread about adding MAB to Microsoft Security Essentials exclusion list (files and processes), so I tried adding that too... but no effect. I don't know if it's worth mentioning, but this is a completely clean system install from last week -- should be no bloatware, spyware, etc. It appears to be the IP Protection module... if I disable IP Protection (right click on the system tray), I no longer experience the problems. Is there a system log or something I can check? (there's nothing in the Windows logs)

My system is - Intel Q6600 2.4Ghz Core 2 Quad - 6Gb RAM - 80Gb SSD (Intel X-18M gen 1) - 1Tb Seagate HDD - 1Gb NIC / LAN connection I'm experiencing some severe network issues when copying files to/from my PC... I have a Windows Home Server machine from/to which I get around 50-60Mb/s copy rates from my laptop and Mac Mini. From my main PC, I get maybe 1 or 2 Mb/s. While this copy operation is taking place, my CPU usage (on one of the 4 cores) is 100%, and the machine becomes practically unusable. It took me a while, but I tracked it down to MalwareBytes... when the program is loaded/operational... my network access if fubar... when it's completely unloaded, it runs fine with high speed copy operations and no CPU usage. Any idea what could be going on? Is it trying to scan every network file copy/operation? Other major software packages installed... - Windows 7 x64 (Ultimate) - Visual Studio 2010 Professional - Adobe Photoshop CS 4 - Autodesk Maya 8.5 - CDBurner XP - Microsoft Security Essentials - Microsoft Office 2007 - Freescale Codewarrior - Microsoft DirectX SDK (Aug 2009) - K-Lite Codec Pack (Full)
