It is just not worth it. You will spend more electricity than you will get. It is barely profitable to do GPU mining, with the prices of GPUs so high lately and decresing ETH price. Right now everything is bad

try to this: Minergate (https://minergate.com/)

Personally, I don't suggest mining using CPU let alone to mine eth coin. if do it, will like this:

CPU mining < GPU Mining < ASIC Mining.
Right now Ethereum is between GPU (and potentially ASIC) mining therefore your CPU miner would be completely obsolete for the electricity you used even if your electricity was the cheapest in the world it would not be profitable to CPU mine ethereum.

All the best.

There is absolutly no sense. at all. the hashrate of cpu will be very small and money you could earn with that "mining" will not cover even electricity cost.
Try to find fresh cryptonight based coin and mine it few weeks, if it will go to exchange, you can earn good profit

Most of the miners are now using a video card miner to dig the ether, and the miners' happy life is about to end, and you can't think of the CPU.
