Fix for High CPU usage when XP starts up

[skoop]

Running Malwarebytes Pro with XP. Has there been a fix for the high CPU usage XP . Already have the temp repair ( turning off the website blocking working fine with this turned off) but I feel I am not getting full value of the paid version of Malwarbytes with only being able to use part of the protection module. If a permanent fix has been found please point me to it.

thanks for your reply AdvancedSetup. I have no problem with computer performance. Was just checking to see if there was a fix for this problem. Can wait until one is found.

No problem, up to you but almost every computer needs or can benefit from a good clean up.
