Alan, I didn't think the anti virus was causing the problem other than being heavily used because the of the extensions accessing the local files. What I have tried is to set the Avguard to scan only when writing to disk. It appears that there is excessive amount file reading going on as problem goes away. I don't feel comfortable with virus guard being partially disable to resolve the problem. With scan only when writing can leave me open to importing a virus
Season emails. That might be the case if I actually had new emails to download; this is happening when there is no new emails. I took a look at the task manger process usage screen I am using 100% Cpu usage at these times but it is TB + Hotmail that is causing my Avguard to use 98+% of the resources at this times when in read/write scan mode. This why I thought there was some kind of small problem with the webmail and hotmail extension combo way of handling the email processing. I glad that I don't have large number of emails to download from hotmail as it is no telling how long it would take. I received my business email thru the hotmail server; hence, no seasonal junk emails. Most of the season email you mention is now coming thru my gmail account as I have most of personal email going there now. I thru webmail site and deleted all of the 76 emails except for 10 and give it few days try when the read/write on and see what happens. I think with all the problems MS hotmail group is causing me it probably best if I just setup second Gmail account for my business contacts and just get rid of the MS stuff.
