Soil timer does not leave me work properly

Question

Dear colleagues of trados Studio, I am having a problem this evening with the soil timer which does not leave me to work properly, each time is write or move the cursor in a segment this appear and trados slowes down. 
 Can someone help me to solve this problem?

 Thanks in advance.

Hi Jesus, The sand timer (we sometimes call this 'hourglass' or 'egg timer' in Britain, among other things) tells you that a background process is slowing things down. I'm sure you know that already... If this is happening every time you open Studio, with any file (rather than just a big file that has been open for a long time, with lots of verification messages listed, which does slow things down) - have you tried repairing Studio via Windows control panel > Programs > Studio > Repair? That's the first thing to try... Hopefully someone else will contact you if not, as I have to go offline now and finish my tax return... ;-)) All the best, Ali

Hi Jesus, 
 
In addition to what Ali suggested this sounds quite typical of the sort of problem that can be caused by an antivirus or security software that is not configured to allow Studio to work unhindered. Perhaps try disabling your antivirus software temporarily and see if this makes a difference? These things can happen, particularly after an update of virus definitions where Studio is incorrectly identified.
