Long initial start-up - Anti malware service very high power usage.

[MrReynolds]

As the title really.

This past week or so, DCS has taken even longer to load up to the menu. 

(Yes installed on m2 SSD).

On the 15 years of DCS message - in task manager, the Windows security Antimalware Service Executable goes to very high and an even higher % of CPU than DCS.

I have seen there has been an issue with PUA:Win32/Packunwan and that it is affecting:  E:\DCS World OpenBeta\Mods\aircraft\F-4E\bin\HeatblurJester.dll.  Once DCS is loaded the Antimalware goes back to 0.1% and very low.....

Could this be an issue?  I have tried allowing it within protection history, but it never "saves".  

Any ideas?

TIA - happy flying!

Yes, just exclude the DCS core folders in your AV solution and you're good.
Cheers!

DCS seems to be triggering false positives on several AVs recently, mostly with Razbam modules. 

I just excluded the entire game folder from the AV scan. This has the additional advantage of noticeable shorter game load. 

PUA stands for 'potentially unwanted application'. Windows Defender thinks there might be something suspicious but it isn't sure.

Other people will tell you that is unacceptable for several valid reasons.

I've been doing this for several months. No one died, nothing exploded.

Pick your poison I guess?

Thanks guys.

I've done that for AVG and Windows defender.

I don't know what this is though as it's a Windows Security thing.  (I have excluded the DCS game folder in both).

I'll try and see if I've missed something.
