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

    If you're getting that much disk activity, it sounds like you're out of memory and chewing through VM.

    Are you doing a manual scan or is this happening while on-access is enabled?

    It sounds to me like SAV is attempting to unarchive a very large archive and scan the contents in the background, and has possibly run out of physical memory while doing so.
