Understand multiple copies of cidaemon.exe

Currently (as usual), I have 3 iterations of cidaemon.exe running. Why?... and if I can reduce this load? Yes, I know to outline what is cidaemon but I have 1 hard drive and can't find any explanation of the "different clues" that are supposed to be created by my 3 which are running versions.

Please enlighten me.

Thank you very much

Hi lmrob,

See the link below and follow the steps mentioned, check if it solves the problem:

Windows XP may run slowly and you may see multiple symptoms in Windows Task Manager:http://support.microsoft.com/kb/899869

  • Multiple copies of MRT.exe in several folders on C: / drive

    Recently, I noticed several files in the main folder C: / drive of our 64 bit Windows Vista machine.  All 4 folders have strange names:
    -f7b9a1b44342f2673e6016fd76ed1e5f
    -d150cd6749088383c80f
    -bba1775d5d54e192eebb0013
    -61d8271a8131a6970f78
    And they all contain one instance of MRT.exe.

    How can I be sure that it is confidence Windows Malicious Software Removal Tool?  Why are there so many copies with strange folder names?

    The malicious software removal tool creates files in the random name. See the FAQ of http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=890830#Faq Q21

    And this extract previously in KB890830

    How to remove the malicious software removal tool

    The malicious software removal tool does not use an installer. As a general rule, when you run the malicious software removal tool, it creates a temporary directory named at random on the root of the drive of the computer. This directory contains several files, and it includes the Mrtstub.exe file. Most of the time, this folder is automatically deleted after the tool to the end of execution or the next time that you start the computer. However, this folder may not always be automatically deleted. In these cases, you can manually delete this file, and this has no adverse effect on the computer

  • Multiple copies of bootmgr.exe.mui

    I have about 370 copies of the bootmgr.exe.mui meet approx. 24 MB of disk space.  I am running Vista Home Premium on a Toshiba laptop.  The majority of the files is located in the subdirectories under the C:\Windows\winsxs\x86_microsoft-windows-d... file - x 86. Directory.  There are seveal startup directories which showed non-Windows in other directories.  Of course, I can't delete all these files.  Anyone has any ideas about why so many copies.  Thank you.

    Hi djmikel,
    I just double checked myself and it is not really a problem with these files. Unless you start removing them.
    These are system files that are supposed to be locked so that they cannot be deleted.
    Sorry for fear.

  • What's doing cidaemon.exe and why should I use 1200% CPU?

    When the Mnager task at hand this race, my PC slows down significantly I am running AVG (and SP3.

    It is part of the Microsoft Indexing Service.

    Here are some words of copy/paste to this topic:

    This process builds and updates the catalog index and generally used a lot of time processor. However, cidaemon .exe is also set to run at a low priority, so it is not usually degrade the performance of the system, even if it's a high level of CPU.

    It is true that t is running in a "Below normal" priority, seen in the Task Manager, but because most of the people seem to want their systems to run faster, I'll usually turn off in the Services Applet and think of it as a background running boring useless (one of many) service.

    I always try to speed things up, not slow things down!

    Some googling will tell you more info on how it works.

  • Printing of multiple copies of photos

    Let me my old printer to print multiple copies of the same photo on A4 paper picture so you can maximize the use of photo paper and just choose if you wanted to format Passport x however many, 5 x 7 x 3, etc.   On my current HP printer photosmart 410, I can only print 4 x 6 pictures - he will not even extend to 5 X 7 photo of the photo tray paper size.

    I can now print on A4 who downloaded Irganview (tip of this forum - thank you).  But I cannot print multiple copies of the picture on A4 photo paper or get the printer to recognize the biggest paper in the 4 x 6 photo tray.  I changed the settings of the printer more than once - it makes no difference.  Any help gratefully received!

    Hi Caro03,

    I understand that you want to be able to print multiple photos on one page. Usually this feature is part of a photo program. The HP Photosmart Premium Fax e-all-in-one printer - C410 has the HP Photo Creations software included with the download. Once you have scanned your photo in the program, you should get the option to put as much on one page as you want.

    I hope this information helps, let me know.

    Thank you

  • Printer still print 1 copy despite having the value multiple copies (more than 1)

    I have a H/P 1022 printer and although everything works well, despite the number of copies setting to say 7, it prints only 1 copy I printing press, once again and then it prints one copy and so on and so forth.

    How to print the number of copies

    Hi bkpcc ,

    Welcome to the HP Forums, I hope you enjoy your experience!

    I understand that you are not able to print multiple copies, and it is on the number of copies in the settings.

    I'll be happy to help you.

    Disabling the option Colate should allow it to print several copies.

    In your printing application, select file, print, number of copies, select 2.

    Uncheck the Collate box.

    You can now change the number of copies.

    Collate should now stay disabled.

    Try to reprint the document of several pages.

    I hope this helps.

    Thanks for posting on the HP Forums.
    Have a wonderful day!

  • Thunderbird will download multiple copies of email with large attachments; about half a Meg or more.

    Have uninstalled and re installed TB; still had the problem so deleted files popstate.dat; three old and I guess that the other two were for both accounts I have. Sometimes I go to the server/webmail and delete the large email to stop repeated downloads.
    Bill

    I tried a different e-mail program, and it did not download multiple copies. Tried to uninstall TB new and removed the front profile of re install and still had the same problem. One of the large files sent to my friend that I had installed TB on his computer for him and he doesn't have the problem. So I changed my email from POP3 to IMAP and now it seems that the multiple download problem disappeared. I would like to know well why I had a problem and my friend (and others) do not have.

  • my iPhoto will not print multiple copies of a photo.

    I'm under o/s10.7.5 and iPhoto 8.1.2 version.  I've selected my photo and chose to print on the file menu.  I select the contact Board on the menu of the icon to the left of my picture. A small picture of my photo appears on the preview.  Layout page or column options had no effect and when I print only one tiny copy of my photo is displayed.  Of course, I'm in the middle of a project to date limit for which I need this feature!

    I have not use iPhoto 8 for a very long time, so do not know, is that it is valid.  With the current iPhoto 9.6.1 duplicate a photo as many times that the copies are required on the printed sheet.

    Select the copies, and use the Contact sheet available:

    Or use the custom layout and set the size to get the number of photos per page you want:

    NOTE: The key is to duplicate the image as many times as you need to get the number of images per page you want.

    This is how works the latest version of iPhoto.  I don't remember how iPhoto 8.1.2 manages multiple copies of a picture on a page.

  • Multiple copies of the same mail and "unresponsive".

    I have fought with Thunderbird for about a week now and have had no chance to solve my problems. Any help would be greatly appreciated! I tried all the suggestions on the FAQ page.

    Here are my symptoms:
    -Make multiple copies of the same email with the same time stamp.
    -Not pulling new e-mail messages.
    -Whenever I try to navigate upwards or downwards in the Inbox or open an email TB will does not.
    -J' got warnings from the following script:
    Script: resource://gre/modules/XPCOMUtils.jsm:323
    Script: chrome://messenger/content/mailWindow.js:179

    Here is what I tried:
    -J' completely removed and reinstalled TB (and recovered my profile).
    -J' have compressed files.
    -J' rebuilt the database world.
    -From TB in safe mode does not seem to make a big difference.

    Fortunately, I have access to webmail via my ISP and it works fine.

    Thank you!

  • How can I open multiple copies of Firefox - like I used to do on the old computer?

    I have a new computer and downloaded Firefox 28.0 I need to have multiple copies of Firefox opened at the same time when working on projects. Using tabs is completely unacceptable, because I do not see a piece of information at a time. I don't know anything about programming, so please don't tell me to do anything related to that. Is the best solution to remove the new version and return to the old ones?

    One thing I do in this case is to open several tabs, and then drag one tab away from others. When you drag the tab away it will open in its own window, which gives you what sounds like you after.

    Good luck!

  • Pls.Help settle ongoing argument w / my BF. I opened several tabs; He runs multiple copies of Firefox. Which is more effective? There is a big difference?

    It seems intuitive to me that opening several tabs (w / a copy of Firefox running) should be more effective than opening multiple copies of Firefox, but I can't find anything on this issue when I google it or search on your site. What is the best, or isn't it important? If one is better on the other, is there a big difference?

    f it's important, I usually 4-6 tabs open, but sometimes 10 or more. It usually has 4 to 6 copies of Firefox running, w / 1 or 2 tabs.

    I'm tired of arguing, so I would really like to know. Thank you!

    Efficiency has many meanings. Firefox could use a little more memory to use several windows, but the memory is relatively cheap and plentiful on the recent PC. Perhaps more important is the style of each person.

    Please note that there is a difference between open multiple windows in a single Firefox session and execution of several Firefox sessions. In the latter scenario, you would load the executable together several times (and to avoid conflicts load a separate Firefox in each profile), and you would only do this for testing or in other special cases.
