Over heating - using most of my cpu
hi all,
just signed up and looking for some advice/answers... please
lately my laptop has been over heating sitting at about 66-70c (150f) , and couldn't figure out why , until i look in the task manager and noticed that anti sypbot beacon was using loads of my cpu @about 70%
now this could be related or not ,
but my laptop was over heating , so i un-installed anti spybot beacon and noticed straight away the temp drop down to about 38c (100f)
i cleaned out all of files using ccleaner after uninstalling it , re-installed it again and it seemed to cure the over heating problem ,
but i had an update for windows 10 yesterday and now (12 hours later) anti spybot beacon is again using a lot of my cpu @30% and it's over heating again ,
this isn't just happing on my laptop it's also doing the same thing on my HTPC ( using loads of cpu and high temps )
but the strange thing is it's not on my gaming PC ,

both PC's, gaming and htpc as well as the laptop are all running windows 10 .
does any one have any ideas on what could be happing with spybot beacon
Thank you
Skype and Spybot Anto-Beacon
So I have been having a few problems with Skype after installing and executing Spybot Anti-Beacon. I blocked all connections in both tabs thinking that it would be a great idea.
It turns out that Skype requires a running and updated version on Internet Explorer to function properly (like sending pictures and videos through chat). It also turns out that Bing is part of internet explorer and that it requires a certain amount of both to function properly on Windows 10.
I blatantly disabled Bing in the Optional tab as i didn't think i had any use for it... turns out i do if i want to use Skype.
Anyways - point being is that if you are having troubles accessing Skype Home or cant send pictures or videos though chat, check Anti-Beacon to see if you blocked Bing.
Thast is all :)
Do I have to leave the program minimized or can I close it?
Hey guys,
Just a quick question, do I have to leave Spybot anti-beacon minimized or can I close it while still having the immunizations running?
Windows 10 Anniversary Update has broken Anti-Beacon
After applying today's Anniversary update, Telemetry Hosts (under both the Protection and Optional tabs) are refusing to remain blocked. I completely uninstalled and then reinstalled the product but the problem remains. Any ideas?
