Many times it takes more than 15000 handles. And OS is not usable in that time.

It's the service for the Check Point SecureRemote Software.
Julian

Securemote component, but takes 98/99% of CPU on my laptop - who needs virus with such a security-app?
Stein-Bjarne Johansen

It is a part of the Checkpoint software and a required application. I did, however, only moments ago have to reboot because it was stealing 99% CPU. This is the first time I have observed this behavior and will be submitting a query to our IS dept. regarding the vendor's position on this apparent bug.

It is a VPN client to encyrpt access data over the internet. Not dangerous.

Used for VPN access.
Seb

This is for the VPN. I often have to kill it because it peaks my CPU when i am not using the VPN. It is safe kill it when you need the VPN.
Bret Pettichord

Many times it takes the processor. 93+ percents that is. I don't need it know I'll unistall it.
Chen

used in the VPN client

Runs my disk at close to 100% for no good reason (i.e. when VPN not connected)

It's normally well-behaved, but I've observed it consuming 98% of the CPU when it gets into a pathological state. I killed it, shut down my SecureRemot VPN, and my machine's behavior returned to normal.

This is the Check Point SecureRemote/SecureClient VPN client. It is completely harmless and is required for VPN connections to a FW1/VPN-1/VPN-Edge device. It uses standard IPSEC protocol. Can be disabled/uninstalled if you never use VPN to connect into your work.

Yeah, it's securemote component. But it takes 99% of CPU on my laptop. As a result, my laptop's fan has to work in full power and is really loud (not to mention the extremely decreased battery time). Kill that process if you don't need securemote constantly!!!

It just encrypts and decrypts the network communication within a VPN. It neither a Backdoor for Viruses to enter your or other Computer nor it is a Virusshield for your or other Computer (see comment of Maurizio believes)
