MBAMService causing 100% disk activity

[bundabah]

Why does MBAMService run and cause 100% disk activity on drive C 

Runs for 15-20mins, during which time system is sluggish as hell.

Would like to know why as frustration is getting the better of me.

Tks

On my Thinkpad Carbon X1 Touch (8MB RAM) running Windows 8.1 Update x64 Pro and MBAM and MBAE (both Premium), today I am seeing MBAM consuming 33-35% of CPU, obviously slowing down my PC.  This has been going on for at least an hour or so.

MBAE CPU climbed to 40%, even woith no browser or other apps active.  I turned off protections, and waited about a minute.  When I truned MBAE on again, the CPU usage was truly minimal, registering 0% (the dashbaord shows all protections active).

 

I surmise some glitch in the MBAE software causing this problem?

The logs indicate that the computer is probably infected with something. As we cannot due malware removal in this specific sub-forum I would suggest following the advice from the topic here Available Assistance for Possibly Infected Computers and having one of the Experts assist you with looking into your issue.

Thanks
