Troubleshooting On-Demand Scan Performance with VSE 8.8 Patch 5 and 6

After upgrading an endpoint to VSE 8.8 (patch 5 or 6), the system becomes slow or unresponsive during On-Demand Scans.  System performance can be improved by making some changes to the System Utilisation settings to reduce resource use.

• You can remove options for Scanning memory for Rootkits and running process, and carry out these scans as part of a separate task.
• Stop scanning inside archive files (eg zip)
• Drop the System Utilisation down to Low
