Using this have managed to dump auto processes eg virus scan on second processor with settings automatically applied on start up (providing the utility itself starts on boot up).
Translation: "Using this I have managed to significantly reduce my overall system performance and placed extra stress on the kernel's thread scheduler."

Only set processor affinity for compatibility purposes. It can never improve performance. Ever.

I get a alert from avast when trying to download that program?
heuristic analysis probably picks up the fact that it's made to actually alter executable files and gives a virus warning. Dunno if this has an effect on anti-cheat systems like pb or vac...
