CPU usage under OneCare 2.0

01-16-2008

Since OneCare 2.0 was pushed to my computer, I am noticing that my CPU usage
when nothing else is running is usually around 55-65%. If I kill the
process, "winss.exe," my CPU usage drops to its normal levels. However,
within a few minutes the process starts up again and my CPU usage rises back
to 55-65%. This causes my laptop to run very slow, with the fan at full
speed. It ran this way all night and continue to do so today.

Any idea what might be going on?

Thanks!
