lol, correct/affirmative.

I myself hate it when I am troubleshooting a problem and find a thread somewhere with that same problem only to find that the OP never followed up etc.

I was reviewing all my old posts and updating them. I noticed nobody ever replied back to me last year. I think I may have solved it in another forum. However I only remembered using process explorer that helped me track down the culprits that were making my CPU usage abnormally high for a clean and idle system.

As you can see now my system is extremely lean and easy on resources. I could lean it up more by using Comodo 3 rather than 2 but 3 is still acting weird on my machine so the small improvement on resources in not worth it.

So now if someone is googling a similar issue they will find something more than just me posting a problem.

thanks.
