Stan, I'm right there with you. I love it when things just work. I
just happened to have subscribed with ESET before Essentials came out.

BTW, I was going to post this problem to the list, but I did find the
solution. Wednesday with all the ice and snow, I skipped work.
However, my main system was running like a dead snail. I thought
that it had something to do with the internet, as we usually have
problems when things get wet. Cox promises to replace the cable
under the street. It was originally put there in 1983 by Dimension
Cable (afterwards swallowed up). The surprise happened when I turned
on the other system and it ran fine. Starting up task manager, I
noticed by ekrn.exe was using 100% of my dual core. Yes, I'm using
the latest ESET Smart Security. Found the answer on the 'net, but
basically boils down to ESET's long history of problems with
ekrn.exe, which they haven't solved for the past 5 years. In this
case, ekrn.exe doesn't like it when Firefox's sessionstore files get
over a certain size. Then it begins to continually access those
files. The solution is two-fold, at least this worked for me, first
you have to exclude those files, 2nd, clear history in Firefox. Oh,
and 3rd, in 9 months when my subscription runs out: Move to a
different anti-virus.
