I've got Comodo installed and has been fine for the past month or so. Past couple days it's been burning up my CPU when my laptop is idle. I haven't done anything or changed anything to my laptop. Anyone got any ideas?

Disregard this fellas. I just uninstalled it. It started going crazy for some reason. I opened up iTunes and it went nuts. Opened up my documents and it went nuts. Screw it. Windows Firewall is fine. On a side note, whereas my memory usage was at 28-29% at startup, it's now at 24-25%. Odd. Task manager only showed it using about 4MB but obviously something else was going on. Reminds of Norton in that regard.

Sounds like a bad install. I've seen similar errors, it happens.
-
It's been installed for a month now...
Anyway. After I installed it, I realized MSE was doing the same thing with the high CPU usage. I wonder if it has to do with the Windows updates as that's the only thing that's "new" on my system. I re-installed Comodo and I'll see what happens... -
Hm. Strange. You can always report it to the Comodo forums.
-
Keep us posted as to what happens now with Comodo.
Strange how even MSE spiked your CPU usage. Its usually very light on system resources. -
MSE uses upto 50% CPU when updating/ scanning. What CPU usage are you seeing?
-
It's happened to me before, cmdagent ate a bunch of CPU time. Never quite found a solution, since MSSE was doing to same thing. Kinda just walked away for a while (month or two) and came back on the next version.

Ya, I found it really odd. I really don't know what either was doing, I didn't investigate it. Next time I see it I will pay more attention to it. It only happened when the system was idle for a while. MSE wasn't updating nor scanning, I know that much. And I doubt Comodo was updating.
Maybe it was just an aberration. Only happened a few times now. I will keep an eye on it and report back one way or another...
