| Martin666 | It stalls my PC by using all the CPU |

| zach | locks up the system at shutdown |

| Rodi | Takes up 22 M of physical memory. Disabled it since I am not using outlook. |
| D King Melbourne Australia | I am runing it with Windows XP. It caused my computer to run flat out. Ishut it down and emtied out the folders with .eml files in them. But why do these folders exist? They do nothing except cause this provlem. McAfee should delete them from the program - or else make the program empty them when they have say 50 files in them. |
| Kevin | Can cause your computer to crash if memory usage is peak and other programs are running |
| Chavez | McAfee Spam Killer. Slow down you PC & Brings CPU usage to 100%. See also: Link |
| Susan D. | I've been using McAfee for a year with no problem. All of a sudden, MSKSrvr.exe is using all my CPU memory. Runs at 98-100% most of the time. McAfee has NOTHING on their website. I'm going to uninstall the program. I don't get any spam anyway. |
| Da Bitch | Killed my Outlook performance... Got rid of Spamkiller...Much happier now! |

 DFA | Run McAfee Spam killer or Turn your computer off. They both offer the same protection at the same speed. |
| e-Robert | McAfee Spamkiller Server (msksrvr.exe) just hijacked 100% of my cpu and won't let go. Resource Hog? No, WHALE |

| DrumloveJohn | By the time it took me to google the file and find this site and read how it sucks up resources, it was done (I also have just moved and hadnt booted up my pc in 3 days) |
| Tomo | Spam Killer |
| Larry Z | This file starts taking all the memory on the machine and nothing else runs. Cancel the process and delete spamkiller from install to clean up |
| CandaceLH | MSKSrvr.exe would with no pattern suddenly hog up my cpu to 99% I removed McAfee Spamkiller and now the file is gone and my PC operates normally now. |
| MattP | It works no better than the built in junk email filter in Outlook. What a damn waste of CPU resources. POS. |
| | McAfee SpamKiller - also a pretty good PC killer & CPU hog |
| JesseJames | Part of McAfee SecuritySuite. After several months takes up 98% of CPU usage, grinding computer to Commodore 64 speed. LOL. Set up SecuritySuite and disable the Spamkiller option. Automatically releases the 98%CPU usage |
| Bucko Peidmont | This is not normal. Even on a dual processor I cannot access my mail after downloading. Blocks the spam but need it require so much processor after the action is complete? I suspect a memory leak or run away process. |
| Phyk | Makes outlook take about 5 minutes to open and slows every down until it's almost unusable. |
| Aitken Brotherston | Hogs Process time Remove Spamkiller = Remove Problem. I have a 2004 version of Internet security. I do hope this is not McAfee's way of trying to get me to purchase a later level. |
| bcc | It's a cpu pig! |
