what have the fans to do with OP ? That nasty rating was not necessary and all who disagreed on poppy linux suggestion didnt bring a better answer . https://audiosex.pro/threads/unofficial-windows-10-daw-build-and-tweak-guide.57829/#post-538157 https://audiosex.pro/threads/windows-10-tweak-for-low-latency-2020.56425/ https://audiosex.pro/threads/windows-10-building-and-modding-and-custom-os-s.55464/ https://audiosex.pro/threads/windows-auto-update-kills-addictive-drums.40027/ https://audiosex.pro/threads/could-someone-post-a-true-all-in-one-guide-to-make-win10-proper.52465/ https://audiosex.pro/threads/windows10debloater-make-windows-10-truly-pro.55080/ https://audiosex.pro/threads/if-you-are-considering-a-serious-workstation-build-read-this.55091/ https://audiosex.pro/threads/win10-...n-audio-puter-pls-share-your-knowledge.52707/ and there is more . When its not a bad crack app like bad noyz mentioned i would begin with the OS otherwise its not easy to determine . All who think win10 build in AV stuff is good and necessary are compete lost and has not good knowledge about to be safe in www .Let me tell you its the opposite of overkill , resource hogging and sending all your dada to a AV company, it dont even needs a AV , just good 3 party firewall ; OS tweaks ;HOSTS etc Edit (ok needs to be a machine where no kids click on shit when they might use it otherwise you need AV = kids proof idiot shit UNLESS you are a bigger company or an webservice company or what ever .

You need to keep all as it is if you want to use your pc ALSO for other stuff other than making music. Defender is not sending data to AV company, it's just sending some data to microsoft for better analysis of potential threats (not personal data), and there is a very easy to find option to disable this. If you end up on some shit website and get virus and you don't have any freaking antivirus because you read an online post of a dude saying to remove all microsoft security features....well THAT WOULD BE DUMB. Even in big project my cpu (which is not the latest model in market) never even goes above 30-40%, so I don't really know what the hell do you have to gain by removing defender. The resources that it takes are irrelevant compared to overall power of modern CPUs. If you have pc from 2005 buy new pc instead. Telling noob users to go and mod their OS = make people go and break their OS even more. Surely if you have some understanding of how computers work, you would never suggest in such a topic like this one to go and remove stuff from windows. If anything, maybe it could be as a user suggested above, ableton indexer, but then you still have weak PC problem, because with modern pc this is irrelevant. When people say, "this process is using 10% of my cpu", it's the same as saying nothing, because 10% OF WHAT? every cpu is different and 10% of cpu from 10 years ago = 0.1% of modern cpu. The reason why the topic turned to fans, is because user needing help said he thinks his cpu is being used because of the fans spinning really loudly, and as we all know, that is not a direct indication of cpu usage. That said I ain't got anything more to add to this conversation so, everyone is free to do with their pc as they see fit, just be careful if you don't have all your data backed up, because it takes very little to break your OS when following certain really poor advices... Peace
Update: Found a newly created folder named Windows Defender Advanced Threat Protection in C:/Program Files Which is not the same as the original Windows Defender. It has different modification dates and includes .exe's related to Sense. Is this legit? I have never heard of this folder separation before. Look at its resources now: I am thinking of a Botnet ongoing process OR one of my plugins is behaving angrily since it must've checked if its genuine. How can I make sure no extra malicious bits are added to one of those uploaded mirrors? SHA-512 sumchecks? Last edited: Feb 22, 2021
I have that folder too, it's from windows genuine. You can't be sure because unfortunately uploaders never write SHA-256 in their posts of the original rar. Hopefully they will start doing it in the future.. Anyways it's likely that the files are safe especially from uploaded and rapidgator. at best there might be corrupted ones from rapidgator, it does happen from time to time.
