  1. Ok, I did a clean install of W7 OS with no other software installed (no AV installed) and there is still some thrashing of the hard drive for WFPDIAG.etl. I did add exceptions to the windows firewall for mbam.exe, mbamservice.exe, and mbamgui.exe. I'll keep trying different solutions but if I can't find one then I'll probably just uninstall and move on...
  2. Ok, took your last advice about uninstall then reinstall mbam - but resource monitor still showing some disk activity. I'm guessing that it may be easier now to just start from scratch and go back to a clean install of W7 OS. I'll install one app at a time until I figure out where the disk activity originates (ugh). I plan to install OS first, then MBAM, then Avast to see if it makes a difference. I'll post in this forum later what happens. Regards.
  3. Ok, followed your instructions and added exclusions to Avast & MBAM (then rebooted), but there is still data being read consistently from the hdd disk according to resource monitor. The only file doing the read is wfpdiag.etl, and when I shut down mbam it goes away. Perhaps it's normal activity and I can somehow eliminate the wfpdiag file? Thanks!
  4. I'm running Avast for AV and no, not a company computer. Thanks.
  5. Hi all, Just wiped my computer and reinstalled everything. Noticed that there was constant hard disk activity due to some continuous program reads and traced it back to process wfpdiag.etl (which I understand to be the built in windows firewall event trace log). Since I only had a couple of programs loaded so far, it was easy for me to determine the cause. Once the MBAM program was shut down, the excessive hdd reads were eliminated. Has anyone else noticed this same problem? I'm using W7 Professional 32-bit, if it matters.
