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 was just using the system to access some websites that aren't graphics heavy. I was switching back and forth between the website and the document I was writing when the machine slowed to a crawl, and simply switching applicatios took excessive time, which is why I went to the system monitor to check on what was causing it. I have Word, Mail, Skype, and Firefox open but idle most of the time, so I don't know what has it so busy. According to the monitor there's 600 meg of RAM free. Certainly I wouldn't expect you to be churning up VM if memory was limited, in any case.

    In fact, tonight, after I shut down Firefox I noticed a lot of disc activity and found you were using between 45 and 95% of the processor time. That went on for several minutes but with the  there was nothing to scan, so far as I know, Skype was idle, as was Word.
