Apache, CAVS and high CPU load

Hello all,
I am new to the forums. Hope I am posting in the right place. Couldn’t find a bug report topic. Hope I don’t offend anyone by posting here. If I posted to the wrong forum, I apologize.

Uninstalled Comodo and the problem went away. Reinstalled AVAST and the problem did not reoccur. I’ve run Apache for several years with no problems like this. Hope someone can find the solution because I do like Comodo and would like to run it. I know it is Beta and assume you will want to know about problems like this.

I am running Apache Server 2.02.0004 on a Windows machine under xp-pro sp2. When installed, Comodo runs my cpu useage up to 90% to 100% and it remains there.

Here is the error from Apache log:
[Wed Mar 19 07:28:12 2008] [notice] Child 1580: Child process is running
[Wed Mar 19 07:28:12 2008] [notice] Child 1580: Acquired the start mutex.
[Wed Mar 19 07:28:12 2008] [notice] Child 1580: Starting 250 worker threads.
[Wed Mar 19 07:28:13 2008] [notice] Child 1580: Starting thread to listen on port 80.
[Wed Mar 19 07:28:13 2008] [error] (OS 10038)An operation was attempted on something that is not a socket. : Child 1580: Encountered too many errors accepting client connections. Possible causes: dynamic address renewal, or incompatible VPN or firewall software. Try using the Win32DisableAcceptEx directive.

The last line just continues to repeat filling up the log. and cpu useage goes too high.

Below here is report from Process Explorer showing everything that is running when the problem occurs;

Hi,

Please remember CAVS 2 is in BETA & Also all development has stopped on CAVS 2.

All development is going towards CAVS 3, Where we will release it as a short beta, then a final. Comodo promises it to be great! :slight_smile:
