Hello, cpmad stands for checkpoint malicious activitiy detection. In other words its a little ids which can detect a few general attacks, like land attack, smurf, syn attack, port scanning ... It's configured via the cmpad_conf file. There you can configure how sensitive it. If you increase the sensitivity it will use more memory. If you decrease the sensitivity it will use less. You can also define how much memory it may use in total. If it needs more memory then was allocated it will exit. My suggestion would be to decrease the memory allocation or increase physical memory in your system.

I have noticed that there is a process running called cpmad.exe that seems to continue to use more memory. I suspect that this process eventually uses all the available memory and the server crashes. Unfortunately I have never been on the machine before it goes down and there is nothing in the event log. Does anyone know what this process does and why it would continue to use memory?
