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've force-quit Intercheck without problems (it just reloads), but Intercheck generally handles memory well.  If it's using 115MB, that's not too far off standard levels (mine's at 94.4MB).  For a 2GB Mac, that shouldn't be very noticeable, and shouldn't be causing pageouts and beachballing.

    However, if you have archive scanning enabled for on-access scans, you may be experiencing this if you use a lot of java-based apps, or other apps that handle archives of large numbers of small files.
