John Galt · Answer

Uninstall "Avira" and those "Memory Clean" programs. Until then, it is unreasonable to expect your Mac to operate properly.To uninstall "Avira" you must use its downloaded installer, which will be found in your Mac&#x27;s Utilities folder unless you moved or deleted it. After using it, the following files and folders will remain and will require manual removal:~/Library/Application Support/Avira/Library/Application Support/Avira~/Library/Saved Application State/com.avira.uninstall.savedState~/Library/Saved Application State/com.avira.controlcenter.savedState/var/log/com.avira.helper.watchdox.logAfter uninstalling the garbage, you can begin to troubleshoot what&#x27;s wrong with your Mac, if there is anything wrong with it.I assume you know the reasons for the apparently modified Hosts file.

Have you tried going to Activity Monitor and force quitting CloudKeyChainProxy?

ishaalan · Answer

I did kill the process many times (kill -9 pid) but it always relaunch after a while ( 2mins )

StPaulJeep · Answer

Same thing here.  Its eating up my CPU and its also heating up my mac air.  I quit the process, but it starts up a few minutes later.  AAAHHH!
