Performance Alert Message

Norton Security | Norton Internet Security

Hello All,

 

I have Noton Internet Securtiy 2012 and have come across a performance alert when a backup is being performed, it states the following:

 

"High Disk Read, Disk Write usage by: Microsoft Block Level Backup Engine Service EXE"

 

Is this normal or do I need to take any action to prevent this from happening?

 

Thanks

The Performance alert is just an advisory message.  If you know the program is doing a backup, then it is not unreasonable for it to be using extra resources, and you can disregard the alert.

Hi 1bluesky,

 

You're welcome.

Hi,

 

I would say the Performance Alert is normal.  I get the same thing on my two systems when I run Windows Backup.

 

How did you determine your HDD has no problems?  Have you ran CHKDSK /R?  This will take some time and will run next time you start your system, so you should run it when you know you won't be using it for a while, like overnight.

 

Cheers,

Dave

Thanks, Dave.
Ran the CHKDSK/R and was able to re backup my PC. Thanks again
