Trend Micro Office Scan 10 usually runs in the background with the proxy service disabled. Although for the MBAM install attempts I turned it off for every step and it didnt help. Althouh TMOS was running when mbamgui.exe was running at a high CPU.

Thanks for the advice. I was initially having the issue of getting error code 2 whenever I tried to enable protection. I had tried all of the suggestions including the one you just mentioned. I ended up having to manually start the service after pressing the activate protection button. Could this be causing the high CPU usage: a messed up service? Thanks.

So I recently installed mbam and registered it for the active protection. I was looking through my task manager and I saw that while the system tray icon was active (even when IP and regular protection was DISABLED) mbamgui.exe ran at about 49-50 CPU all of the time. Mbam program wasn't up and it wasn't updating or participating in an active scan. The protection has only been active for about a day. Is this a one-time thing, or does it always run this high? I am running Win7 Pro x64 w/4GB of RAM and a dual core E8400 chip. I haven't really noticed any slowdowns from it, but a number that high is a little strange.
