nmain.exe has been using 97% or so of my system resourses - that is CPU power. I am not sure if it is a real file or if there is something wrong - but I cannot run other aplications unless I close this process.

As soon as i decided to block a port from accessing the internet, the NMain.exe tried so use the Norton antivirus to access the internet. It seemed kind of odd... Was it trying to alert someone of the changes i had made???
