[AccessD] MsMpEng.exe

Steve

Not a solution from me, sorry.  The only mention of MsMPEng in MSKB relates
to Microsoft Forefront Client Security
(http://support.microsoft.com/kb/938054/en-us) - presumably some relation of
One Care?  I don't have One Care, and don't have MsMPEng.exe on my PC, let
alone running.  Circumstantial evidence to support what you've found in
fora.

Well, there is a possible solution: uninstall One Care.  Someone had to say
it!

My computer is essentially out of service due to a process named
MsMPEng.exe.  I don't think it ruins any database or other files, but it
runs rampant and takes up over 90% of your CPU and most of your memory.
Which leaves me with a 3 minute delay for every action I make.   From what
I've read in other forums, this is a Microsoft process related to Microsoft
Defender, and typically comes when you install Microsoft's OneCare
(firewall, backup, virus, spyware).  I've tried turning off the "scan
continuously" option under virus/spyware section of OneCare.  It tried
directly  deleting the process, but it returns like a zombie.

Has anyone else come across this and found a solution?
