Whenever i connect to net , after 15-20 mins CPU usage suddenly increases. In taskmanager i found the culprit COMODO firewall using more than 50% CPU. But when i kill some particular SVHOST process , everything becomes normal.
Avast does not find any problem in my system. But way back , two weeks ago it detected a malware named "Adan". I guess the problem is occuring since than. I guess that malware uses svhost process to connect. Kaspaesky was of no use.
I always get some type of malware attacks on my airtel gprs connection, but COMODO was superb, but this time it uses >50% cpu to protect me.
Any quick remedy. Freeware is most entertained.

use ZoneAlarm(its free)
or try to limit ur current firewalls system usage at the options menu.
