Intercheck maxes out my CPUs

Kernos

Intercheck is using 98% of my %CPU for long periods of time. If I kill it, it comes back and climbs to 90%. Is there a way to fix this?

TIA, 

Bill

    I'm seeing the same thing, but not caused by CPU usage. I'm running a 2 gig iMac 5,1 running 10.6.8 and the slowdown I see is because the disk usage is maxed out when Intercheck is only using about 14% of the CPU time. This slows the machine excessively. Is there any way to lower the priority of Intercheck's disk access request to make it a better neighbor to the other programs? I want my machine protected, but at the least I'd expect you to send a growl message to assure me that it's you slowing things, not the machine getting senile. At best, if you limited the access rate (perhaps throttle it back for systems that don't have several terrabytes to get through and four processors to do it with?) to 75% of what's available there would be a slowing, but not a slow-motion feel to the machine after bootup.
