from time to time I check the running processes and catch cmdagent.exe consuming a full CPU core.
No, I don’t have firewalls/antiviruses installed from multiple vendors. It is a plain comodo firewall 12.1.0.6914 install on a Win10. The native windows firewall is turned off.
WHAT IS CMDAGENT DOING? There are no logs or anything, it seems like an infinite while loop on 80 threads that goes off at random times.
I’ve already tried turning off HIPS/firewall/auto updates, nothing influences this behavior. I don’t do anything weird when cmdagent.exe goes crazy.
Since I can’t kill or suspend cmdagent I have to restart the machine for it to go away. After a restart it is fine again, no significant cpu usage. For a while.
Yes, I already tried overwriting with a fresh install. No, it did not help. It’s really annoying that such a vital piece of software is not working reliably.
The link to the Beta version is valid and from a Comodo Staff Member, to help you and see if the Beta fixes your problem. The Hosts file needs to be modified temporarily to give access to the Comodo Beta servers . . . it’s your choice if you want to try it or not
