When you install any security suite (especially Comodo), it's better to wait for a while so that it can whitelist your apps and performance can become steady.

I guess you'll have similar problems (high CPU and/or high disk usage) with CCAV

1. I see, I've never had high CPU go on for any suite for a prolonged period of time, on the other laptop which I have this situated on as well there is no prolonged CPU usage whatsoever! Thank you for noting this for me

2. I hope not, but as this primarily an AV and not a suite (of sorts) may not suffer the same thing.

Removed VPN Service: Seed4Me (too buggy, when disconnecting the Internet would not come back on, cannot recommend this service at all to anyone)

@LDogg - looking forward to hearing your experience with CCAV. (y)

My experience for me so far using this product is fabulous, no high CPU usage it's great. Quite configurable surprisingly too. I would actually recommend this, I can't recommend it's Internet Security package, but that's from personal experience and someone else may not get the same outcome.

I even tested CCAV on my Hyper-V too. It's good!
