I have windows 11 with Norton installed as well as MalwareBytes Premium.
I only have 5GB of free memory. (3 GB is used by the graphics 'chip')
So, at times I can end up with CPU usage at 100%, Disk at 100%, Memory at 87%.
Ok, so, the other day I noticed in Resource Monitor, under the CPU Section, the following programs are listed as "Suspended":
- SecureSystem
- SearchHost.exe
- ShellExperienceHost.exe
- SystemSettings.exe
And sometime these items and some others as well. (Note: Sometimes an item appears as suspended and then it disappears.)
- backgroundtaskhost.exe
- nortonsecurity.exe
- lockapp.exe
Does Norton do this when it takes over the Virus and Malware checking from Windows Defender / Anti-virus?
And Sometimes the following items show as terminated:
- svchost.exe for graphics (I don't remember the exact name)
- svchost.exe for network (can't remember exact name)
- searchfilterhost.exe
- msedge.exe
- MoUsoCoreWorker.exe
I have done Norton and MalwareBytes scans and no issues were found.
Is this normal?
