    I know that the Tablet PC isn't officially supported, but in general it is working fine.  The only issue is that when a full scan is being ran it uses 99% of the CPU.  Being mobile, the machine is normally shut off during scheduled scans at night.  Will there be a way to limit CPU usage in the future so the machine will be more responsive while the scans are running?  Also, when will the Tablet PC be offically supported?

    Thanks

    Hey Bill!

    Thanks for the post!  We are targeting support for the Tablet PC at RTM.  As for limiting CPU usage, we don't have any specific plans, but we can investigate the issue and review any potential changes/workarounds

    Thanks

    Have you had issues with CPU usage and FCS ? One of our "likes" of the product is without such a feature, the overhead of the client in comparison with other AV vendors appears to have a much lower overhead.. What are you comparing to ?

    So far there has been only one other desktop that someone is complaining about the CPU usage.  We are going to begin to roll this out next week so hopefully it will be only an isolated problem.
