Hi

Not quite sure what the problem might be but even though in Windows Task Manager it shows CPU current usage fluctating between 1% - 2 %, Commit charge 494m / 1250M I am constantly getting a whirring sound. At this time my Zone Alarm is doing a scan.
This occurrence happens on a regular basis and not necessarily when a program which uses more cPU is active. Incidentally it shows Processes as 40.
Please bear with me as my knowledge in such matters is very limited.

Perhaps a possible cause for this irregularity might be suggested and is there a way to correct said happenings.

Will be glad to provide any further information which might be of use.

Tks
