| If updating process hangs, this process can hog CPU. Kill the process and then just restart the service. Rob from www.WebWizards.Net | |
| ePolicy Orchestator Agent Framework Service; not dangerous if you have Mcafee installed, be wary otherwise. Consumes tons of CPU and memory, as does mcshield, and everything else mcafee has authored in the past 10 years Jamie | |
| Virenschutz See also: Link mailman | |

| McAfee ePolicy Orchestrator Agent (used in enterprise environment) Conny Landstedt | |
| McAfee antivirus. McAfee needs to make this a low priority thread.. not hogging my CPU when i am working Daniel | |
| Yeah, it's a McAffee thing. It's not particularly a security risk, except it is opaque to users and it definitely is a risk to your productivity, taking a full 100% of one core on a dual core system. WTH? Geoff | |
| Essential McAfee service in order to enforce policy or get VSE DAT updates from the internet or ePO server. CurtAndy | |
| Allows McAfee to do updates, if service is not running, you will get error when tring to manually update your McAfee... Set to Automatic (Delayed Start).. for faster startup :) Sambuca | |
| Its the underlining components for McAfee's EPO. use within enterprise environments. Jamesey | |
| McAfee is both user interface and cpu unfriendly. Never see it catch any virus but did see it slow my 4-core PC frequently. | |
| The McAfee Framework Service is used to provide the majority of MA (McAfee Agent) functionality. Used with ePolicy Orchestrator. Should be located in the McAfee\common framework folder. Robert S | |
| McAfee service. Mcafee is awesome. Earth is round. DogsAss | |
| It hoses my entire HP Elitebook 840G with 4 GB RAM, when it runs. Pete | |
| Mcafee software is really bad about taking 100% of your CPU. no concept of throttling or that you might possibly want to use your machine Josh | |
| Non-system level file. | |
