I used https://github.com/jb-alvarado/media-autobuild_suite to compile tons of tools to avoid Malwarebytes to interfere with the compilation I added folder the media-autobuild_suite is checked out to to my exclusion list. (I'm on a Win10pro, 32GB, Ryzen 7 X1800 System)
A week or so ago I noticed that compilation takes ages to finish.
I also noticed the CPU handles shown in the Windows taskmanger for 'System' keep increasing over the course of the compilation and not going down, even after the script was finished. The memory allocation of the system got to 60% and stayed there, even after the script was closed. Malwarebyte was always running at 2-3% cpu usage while the script ran.
Checking my ssd, my memory, drivers, en-/disabling Windows features nothing changed until I disabled Malwarebyte.
After disabling Malwarebytes compilation was as fast as before, memory usage stayed at ~25% (8GB) and the CPU handle count didn't increase either while running the script.
So my conclusion atm. is that Malwarebytes isn't respecting my exclusion.
Would be nice if someone could look into this, since I would prefer not to disable MalwareBytes whenever I compile stuff.
Thanks.
