[QUOTE="xstep, post: 310983, member: 11647"] 99% cpu usage may not be as bad as it sounds. Your machine has four processors, so clamscan is essentially hogging one of them for it self. Still there is probably a lot of disk-io occurring and memory being used by it. clamscan may also explain why your kernal_task is taking up 3-4 times more memory than my two systems. If you didn't install clamscan, then I'd kill it and figure out how to stop it from loading. Also go the the ClamAV web site and see if it scans all files on its initial scan. If you were to shutdown the machine before the initial scan completes, it is possible that it would have start all over. I for one don't see a need to run anti-malware software at this time. The applications you mentioned are all PPC code. Go to the vendor sites to see if there are any special patches to make them work. If I remember correctly, Adobe had some issues. Premier 6.5 was discontinued for the Mac. Although I thought I heard they are bringing it back. Anyhow, running video software compiled for PPC processors on Intel will definitely challenge the Rosetta engine. [/QUOTE]
