The new version of OmniPass for Windows Vista seems to have a few issues with IE7. My friend Lee identified this issue and - having just rebuilt my LS800 I installed OmniPass to see if I could reproduce the issue. I can, and not just with IE.
When secureapp.exe (the OmniPass tray icon application) is running then whenever IE has the focus iexplore.exe hammers the processor. The same thing happens with Windows Live Writer and Feed Deamon - when they have the focus then they hammer the CPU. If secureapp.exe is not running then they don't.
With both apps running, but with IE minimised task manager looks something like this:
The CPU is pretty idle at 13% and secureapp is there, but idle.
Maximising IE cause the CPU to get hammered until IE is minimised again. It looks like this:
If you kill off the secureapp.exe process after you log in then this does not happen. The down side is that you cannot store application passwords in OmniPass and authenticate with fingerprints without this process running. You can, however, still log on and unlock you machine using fingerprints without the secureapp.exe process running.
In Windows Defender you can prevent the secureapp.exe process from running at start up, which will save you killing it off manually. In the Control Panel click on the Change startup programs link under Programs.
In the Windows Defender dialog click on the Show for all users button to enable the disabled controls.
Once you have confirmed for UAC that you want to allow this you will be able to select the Softex OmniPass item and then click the disable button.
