K1874M Posted August 8, 2008 Share Posted August 8, 2008 What could be causing it? Deleted loads, it even slows down my whole system on a brand new lap top (3 months old) when send and recieving. Pulling my hair out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sexton Hardcastle Posted August 8, 2008 Share Posted August 8, 2008 IS this a work one conected to a server etc? Maybe updates running in the background? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lovecraft Posted August 8, 2008 Share Posted August 8, 2008 I'm guessing it could be your anti-virus. hit ctrl, alt & delete to check the system load and see what apps are causing the cpu spikes when it happens. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
K1874M Posted August 8, 2008 Author Share Posted August 8, 2008 IS this a work one conected to a server etc? Maybe updates running in the background? It is connected to a server. We use an out sourced IT company that comes in but frankly they've no idea... I'll check the cpu usage just now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

K1874M Posted August 8, 2008 Author Share Posted August 8, 2008 Say you cant do anywork today and spent the next 7 hours and 41 mins on Kickback. The CPU never spiked when send and recieving... when would I expect to see a spike... It effects everything on my system and everyone else seems to be the same. The servers only a year old. Grrr.

It would spike as soon as you started trying to send and receive. Vista or XP? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lovecraft Posted August 8, 2008 Share Posted August 8, 2008 XP and I'm using the disgusting Norton. There's your problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lovecraft Posted August 8, 2008 Share Posted August 8, 2008 XP and I'm using the disgusting Norton. Try switching off Norton and see If it makes any difference. I'm guessing it will be Norton's email scanner. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lovecraft Posted August 8, 2008 Share Posted August 8, 2008 If you are at work you won't have to worry about viruses and the like as they should have a pretty good firewall/sweeper etc. Unless that's what is causing the problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
K1874M Posted August 8, 2008 Author Share Posted August 8, 2008 Try switching off Norton and see If it makes any difference. I'm guessing it will be Norton's email scanner.

heartsfc_fan Posted August 8, 2008 Share Posted August 8, 2008 There's your problem. Agree. Norton is a pile of craaap. Never really had any use for it. The one button checkup is good on systemworks, but the anti-virus is pesh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lovecraft Posted August 8, 2008 Share Posted August 8, 2008 haha, cheers, seems to be running a little better after Lovecrafts help. If Norton is nothing to do with you work, hook it and get AVG for free. Norton sucks rancid willies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sexton Hardcastle Posted August 8, 2008 Share Posted August 8, 2008 Make sure and use the "Norton Removal Tool" if you do hook it. Even if you do the unistall programme, it still leaves bits in the registry etc which mess about with any future anti virus. Give a shout if you need it but sure itl be on google somewere.

Rab87 Posted August 8, 2008 Share Posted August 8, 2008 I'd personally recommend Mozilla Thunderbird, seems to run much smoother than Outlook regardless of what else is running. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
