On my PC this is part of CA Security Center. Seems to be using a lot of cpu AND virtual memory. It was the highest cpu user (7 hours after system idle has reached 180 hours on a very idle system) and virtual memory user (365MB) . Seems to be looping and writing a lot to the page dataset . I will open a problem with CA .
