After some uptime, cmdagent is using lots of memory, and I’d like to quickly restart it, rather than restarting my whole pc. I installed the latest version of CIS a few weeks ago.
I’ve tried all the suggestions that I could find on here. I disabled AV, HIPS, Firewall, etc, and then tried killing cmdagent in task manager, tried stopping it in the services manager, and tried running “net stop cmdagent” from an elevated cmd prompt, but all of these result in “access denied” type errors.
So what’s the secret to restarting the cmdagent service?
I think I found a way to restart cmdagent.exe without having to restart Windows.
Go into Programs and Features, double click on Comodo Internet Security, and choose Repair. This took about 20 seconds to run, and after it finished I was able to kill cmdagent in Task Manager, and it restarted itself right away and freed up all the ram it was using.
Btw, there are usually two instances of cmdagent shown in Task Manager, and the only one I needed to kill was the one that was using the most memory. Also, the Repair process did not touch any of my Comodo settings.
