Increased G5 fan activity

Feedback Type:  Review

Contributed by: patb Wednesday, July 26 2006 @ 11:18 PM PDT

Product Platform: MacOSX

Used Product For: Less than a month

Normally I use Virex v7.2.
Switching to v8.5 caused the G5 processors to work much harder - all the time.
Using Backup v3 to do a full backup to an external firewire disk became painfully slow. The activity monitor indicated a lot of virus checking activity.

I've gone back to v7.2 and the G5 has calmed down.

G5 dual 2.0; OS X 10.4.7; 8GB Ram
