    i have this weird process running...it definitely is NOT normal. google doesn't say anything definitive about this program. but its NOT supposed to be there. according to the Prevx site, its a kind of malware/spyware/hijacker :confused: that affects AVs.

    what do i do about it? it seems to be causing my COMODO AV to run 100% when the computer is idle. stops as soon as i shake the mouse.

    I would suggest running scans with either Malwarebyte's AntiMalware or Hitman Pro and see if they pick up anything.

    Note: For Hitman Pro, you would need an active internet connection while running the scan.
