Antivirus CPU Usage was created by Region_AuRA
Hello !

I had a problem some time ago, with LimeSurvey Version 2.00+ Build 130514.
When a lot of users tried to connect at the same time, the server went down. After analysing the problem, we found that the antivirus was taking all the server resources, which caused the server to crash. It was analysing LimeSurvey files. We solved it by killing the antivirus.

So here is my question(s) :
My antivirus is FSecure, are there some known problems about using it with LimeSurvey ?
I now upgraded to Version 2.65.6+170615, am I to expect the same issue someday if I try to use my antivirus ?

Hello,

You should ask the antivirus vendor, instead.
I don't see how LimeSurvey would create any problems.

Hi,
Thanks for your answer.

Could you please help us to identify the directories concerned by intense writing/modifiing files during high load survey invitations & replies ?
Thanks for your answer.

Only the /tmp directory in the limesurvey folder has some activity.
