(Be sure you set your system to Show Hidden Files in Windows Explorer, because C:\ProgramData is hidden in Windows 7, and so is the “All Users” profile folder in XP.) I went ahead and added the directories below to MSSE exclusions: I found a link on a Google search about adding exclusions, which I suspected would be a problem for things like my backup programs. I added Crashplan and Syncback programs already, but what I found in that Google search was that you need to add the MSSE directories in C:\ProgramData to the exclusion list. WHAT!!? Are you kidding me? MSSE doesn’t already exclude itself? Come on MS!! I really like MSSE, but that’s pretty stupid. Good news is, I think the cpu hog problem is solved!  Basically, using a large amount of resources, like 100%!  It’s eating the CPU time and a lot of memory. The system will work just fine, even after running for hours, when suddenly the system slows to a crawl, almost to the point I have to reset the system. I finally narrowed the culprit to MsMpEng.exe, the scanner for MSSE (Microsoft Security Essentials). I keep having issues with Microsoft Security Essentials MsMpEng.exe using high CPU Time and hogging the cpu. I have Windows 7 Ultimate 圆4, but I think this might be problem in any version.
