High CPU use from MBAM service.

[00sweeney]

 MBAM service has been using about 30% of CPU use when running in the background. I just had a full scan a couple of days ago with no results, and I'm running another right now just to be sure. But the weird thing is, when I run the program and start a scan and then pause it--the CPU use goes down to where I assume it should be when it's running in the background. So why is it so high when it's not scanning? I have 2.0.2.1012 installed on a new machine in May and fully updated, running on Windows 8.1 64 bit. I don't know how long it's been going on, I'm not as anal about CPU usage as I've been in the past. I noticed it a few days ago. I don't know if it's relevant, but I had some problems with slow response and 'not responding' with other programs recently, and used /scannow to fix some corrupted files which seemed to help the other issues. The only other thing I'd mention is that task manager is slow to open and often has a 'not responding' warning when I switch between modules or filters. That's about the only other funky thing going on other than MBAM service. Thanks for any help.

"Scan completed successfully!! No malicious items were detected!"

 

But MBAM's fluctuating between 20% and 30% and above,

Hello and :

 

Let's start here, please:

• Please follow the steps in this pinned topic to uninstall your current version of MBAM and reinstall the latest build - MBAM Clean Removal Process 2x
• If that does not correct the issue, then please read the following and post back attached to your next reply the 3 requested logs - Diagnostic Logs (the 3 logs are: FRST.txt, Addition.txt and CheckResults.txt)
• NOTE: There is an FAQ section with valuable information located here - Common Questions, Issues, and their Solutions

Please let us know how it goes.

Thanks,

I thought I already had the current build installed. It is going to be a massive pain in the ass digging out the original disk.

I will do as you asked--and it *was* a massive pain in the ass--however, as I said in my original plea for help, I'm pretty sure I have the current build already installed.

No change, here are the logs. Thanks.

Crap. 

 

But thank you. Is there anything I can do in the meantime while I'm waiting for a reply in the other forum? Other than run scans (Norton, Malwarebytes, Kaspersky TDSSkiller) that have already been run and didn't find anything?

You should not run anything. Self medicating can sometimes cause more problems. Please try to be patient.
