The Solution Rating System
|
|
| With so many solutions, how can you tell which solutions are most likely to help you and which ones are not? To provide you with a tool to use, we rate our solutions based on various elements that most accurately determine if a solution is a quality solution. To explain what factors affect the solution rating, here are the elements we take into consideration when formulating our solution rating. - The Grade of the Solution
- The Zone Rank of the Expert Providing the Solution
- The Number of Author and Expert Comments
- The Number of Experts Contributing
- The Feedback of the Community
Your Input Matters
Because of the way the system is set up, the most important variable in this equation is you. As a member of Experts Exchange, you are able to cast your vote on the quality of the solutions in regard to how complete, accurate, helpful and easy to understand each solution is. When you provide your feedback, each rating is adjusted accordingly. So, if you see a solution that has a poor rating that you think is a good solution, let us know by rating it. As you do, the rating will be adjusted and will become more accurate for other members of our site. If you have any suggestions that you would like to make for our rating system, please ask a question in the Suggestions Zone of Community Support. Thank you! |

Asked by metanick in Anti-Virus, Desktop Anti-Virus
My corp IT dept recently installed Symantec Endpoint Protection on employee's laptops. I sometimes find smc.exe hogging cpu, like when I'm presenting to a client and PPT slows to a crawl. Obviously, corp IT does not give us permission to manage such software directly, so my only option is to kill the process hogging the cpu. (I've done this with other anti-virus sw for years.
I tried to simply kill the smc.exe process, but of course some unknown process restarted it almost immediately. So, I need a quick and dirty way to kill smc.exe AND whatever watchdog process is restarting it. In other words, I want to terminate smc.exe so that it stays terminated until I reboot.
I tried killing some other Symantec processes, but smc.exe still kept restarting. I tried to kill ccSvcHst.exe but couldn't (using Process Explorer).
