SecureClient causes overload on process 'AirPort' in Mac OS X 10.4.8
Solution ID: #sk32525

I'll save you the trouble: It's claimed to be an Apple problem.

Although I cannot find it right now, I'm pretty sure I saw a recent SK article on this that said the problem was caused by not having a SecureClient for the Mac license installed. The Windows license won't work. Do you have the Mac license?

Subject: [FW-1] MAC OS X 10.4.8  high CPU usage with SecureRemote/Client
Date: Tue, 19 Jun 2007 09:52:40 -0400

Has anyone experienced a problem with MAC OS X 10.4.8 and Checkpoint
SecureClient 'causing' the CPU to run at 90%+ ?  Seems its the 'airport'
process.

Apple says its the VPN software and Checkpoint says its Apple.

Just looking to see if there are any resolutions or workarounds for this,
aside from the finger pointing.

Thanks,
Tony
