Performance Exclusion

I am using Norton Internet Security 18.7.0.13 on Windows 7 64-bit Home Premium Service Pack 1.

 

I continually get the High CPU Usage warning for audiodg.exe.

 

The Norton Help for "Excluding programs from appearing in performance alerts" suggests the following:

  • In the Norton Internet Security main window, click Settings.
  • In the Settings window, click Miscellaneous Settings.
  • Under Performance Monitoring, in the Program Exclusions row, click Configure.
  • In the Program Exclusions window, click Add.
  • In the Select a program dialog box, browse to the executable file for the program that you want to add.
  • Click Open.
  • In the Program Exclusions window, click OK.

When I click Add and browse to C:\Windows\System32, audiodg.exe is not listed.  However, it does show up in Windows Explorer.  I am logged in as an administrator.  The file is not hidden and the Administrators group has Read and Read & Execute permissions.
