Kopaka Depthcharger avgcsrva.exe using too much cpu
avgcsrva.exe run by the system uses too much cpu. it uses like over 20% and more. It interferes with my gaming for example Heroes of the Storm which causes me the lag/stutter. I tested it myself and it is not a gpu problem. in order for it to go down it AVG must be disabled and that is not recommended. Please is there a way to fix this? please and thanks
Sorry for the inconvenience caused.
May I know whether you have installed the free, trial or paid version of AVG and also mention the name of AVG program that you have installed?
We request you to perform repair of AVG program by following the instructions mentioned in this link: http://avgread.me/1BVxDSY .
The file you are referring belongs to AVG scan module. This will run only when you are scanning your PC with AVG or there is a scheduled scan running. We would also like to inform you that the AVG scan will use your PC resources and you may experience the other applications and PC running slow. It will be normal once the scan is completed.
i did not set up any scheduled scanning or scan while playing
is there a way to disable this scheduled scan? or is there a way to reduce this resource usage?
We regret for the inconvenience caused. We would request you to follow this article http://support.avg.com/SupportArticleView?urlname=How-to-start-or-plan-a-computer-scan to go for scheduled scan options. Please try to uncheck the scheduled scan options if its enabled. Thank you.
