What is this? Maybe every 30 minutes the usage of cmdagent will go up to 60% for a few minutes… What is the reason & how can it be turned off? I didn´t have that problem in older versions, so maybe it´s the antivirus or something?
What version of CIS are you using?
It´s 4.1.150349.920, which should be the current one.
Yes, it’s the current one. how long have you had Comodo 4.1 because a reinstall might be necessary.
abr- What are your computer’s specs including the processor(s) and what operating system does it use?

Having the exact same problem - quad core, 4gb ram, win7 enterprise - cmdagent.exe just hogs all the cpu of 1 process for a minute or two… mostly after restart - I don’t run auto updates, I’ve turned off everything apart from firewall - no virus scanner, no sandbox, no scan at start (which shouldn’t happen anyway since I’ve turned off virus scan - right?) - I cannnot seem to find anything else to turn off apart from uninstalling… Anyone got any bright ideas?
cmdagent.exe frequently goes to 100% utilization and stays there on my systems (3 different ones – 2 XP, 1 W7). I have found that, for me, the following helps:
- go into each browser you use and completely clear its cache (I use many browsers - Firefox, Chrome, Sea Monkey, IE, Opera, although mainly just the first two – and clearing just those two usually does it for me)
- empty your Recycle Bin
- find whatever folder your system uses as its “temp” folder (you can run cmd.exe and type “set” to see where this is); go there, and delete all its contents. It won’t let you kill everything – don’t worry about that; just kill what the system allows.
After the above, wait a few minutes (typically fewer than 5 or so), and (at least in my case), utilization drops pretty much to zero.
I also have noticed that when the system is idle, cmdagent.exe may go up to 100%. But if I have recently done the above steps, then as soon as I actually start using the system, cmdagent’s utilization will drop to zero almost instantly. Otherwise, it won’t.
As always, YMMV.
[edited to correct typo]
I have the same thing.
Comodo works, "turn off " the computer Comodo, “start” starts, cmdagent 80%, later, and the computer not working, everything stops. (Ctrl + Alt + Delete not working) Waiting does not help
Sometimes it helps to "reset"and the quick integration of the Internet, but to "turn off "
PC, again the same.
PC can not find the “set”
xp, Comodo 5.3.176757.1236 ,pl
Before I installed pctools old + avira
Generic Host Process turn-off, when he used the Internet,
One day…star PC and
message “fatal error”, I’m deleted the whole xp.
in the system log, I have only errors dhpc
Comodo does not create its own log errors ?
uninstalled the antivirus Comodo , firewall is still
uninstalled the antivirus, firewall, left
comodo continue to have problems.
Work Processor (when the system boots) ranges from 2 to 100%, at some point the computer hangs.
I did reset the computer, the processor varies from 2 to 100% and starts.
Conclusion: uninstall the antivirus did not help, the system long time to start even with a reboot.
Sorry for my English and I greet all.
Just add chrome.exe to exeptions list.
Comodo AV → Scanner Settings → Exclusion → Add → Running Processes → Chrome.exe

Not to mention that several of the threads you posted your solution in have absolutely nothing to do with either Chrome or Firefox…
Thanks for your understanding.
