CIS v5 Release

Yes, but I think that Symantec will ignore it.

 

Yeah i think so to. As mentioned before...they have nothing to win or lose.

 

They'll do what everyone does with Melih, just ignore him.

 

Seems that the fixed the problems with the DNS service

 

can anyone tell me if it is normal cfp.exe always 2-3% cpu usage when the system is idle?

 

No, I do not think that is normal. Do you have files in the sandbox that need to moved?

 

I have it at 0%.
Maybe if you are using any p2p software all the connections can be using a little bit the CPU, but even when I use utorrent the cpu is still at 0%

 

I would not call CIS heavy in terms of CPU time, but it can be depending on what is going on.

 

no sandboxed programs no p2p very clean system windows xp sp3
im running only firewall sandbox and defense plus with avast pro

 

MIght be an issue with avast pro's sandbox. You might try disabling that if you can. I know that avast 5 free works well with CIS firewall so I think the pro version might be the issue.

 

i have already disable all shields of avast but nothing changes
also i have always 6% cpu usage from system
maybe something on bios

 

problem with cfp.exe solved it has a conflict with system control magager smc.exe of netbook msi wind 100

 

finally not solved it comes back.............

 

Try Process Monitor. You might be able to notice some peculiar activity.

 

I uninstalled the Comodo firewall as it seemed to really use a lot of CPU at times. I also have Avast free av. Maybe I'll try to use Comodo in the future again- perhaps there is some Avast conflict.

 

I dont know what can be the problem, I'm using it on win7 x64 even now with utorrent downloading at 1Mb/s and uploading to 0,1Mb/s the cpu for cpf.exe and cmdagent.exe is 0% all the time.

 

i know the cpu 2-3% is not high but for idle system is.......
i dont know where is the problem..... im an advanced user
i have comodo suite also in a dekstop pc with xp sp3 without problems
also i have try it to install cis on a laptop with win 7 but is has very high cpu usage..... 3 different systems 3 different behaviors one good two bad

 

For me is a very stable combo Avast! free and CIS,no problems whatsoever.
On the other hand,i don't why,AVG Pro installed with CIS and voila!cfp exe. using 30-40-50% of CPU idle!

 

Yeah i un-installed CIS for now as well and for the same reason.

 

comodo firewall alone seems to stay pretty low on CPU timing even with utorrent running, im running it alongside avast as well

 

I tried that combination as well, but i got the feeling that avast got a little to active. I got the feeling as if it was checking websites constantly. The light on my tower was often blinking for quit a while as it would do when Avast does a full scan.

Although i have to admit that during several(But not all) of those times cmdagent.exe was also quit active so i can not be certain whether Avast was scanning sites or if it became more active because cmdagent.exe kicked in again.

Which brings me to another question. As far as i know cmdagent is part of the Firewall correct? Why does it kick in so often, and for quit some time each time? At least i got the impression that it did kick in quit often. I know it is not bad or something, but i am just curious about that.

 

im not entirely sure what u mean with cmdagent kicking in?

 

What i mean with that is that in CIS gui i could see that cmdagent.exe was active. You know like when your browser is active then you see for instance...Firefox.exe 85%.

 

hmmm... maybe, guess i never noticed it if it does

 

You realize those figures in the CIS GUI are for network activity and not CPU usage, right?
