If cidaemon.exe is the process running your CPU up to 100%, it is only a critical process to run Microsoft Indexing Service, which is not required for your system to run. My experience with MIS is it isn't worth having it running because I found it did suck all of my system resource's...inefficiently.
Disable the Indexing Service: You can turn indexing off by stopping the service in services.msc (Go to Start > Run and type services.msc or right-click your My Computer icon and click Manage > Services and Applications > Services, scroll down and highlight Indexing Service then right-click on it and select Properties then Manual under Startup Type and click OK. Set it back to Automatic if you ever want to start up the service again!

One thing for those whose computers are riving up to 100% check out cidaemon.exe on line, it might help. Any ideas to solve the freeze issue? Thanks.
